Development of a novel VHH intrabody targeting the N17 region of huntingtin exon 1 protein that prevents inclusion body formation.

Florence D.M. Wavreil, Wouter Pos, Menno Spits…·Eric A. Reits

This paper develops a VHH intrabody that targets the N17 region of mHTT exon 1, reducing insoluble mHTT species and preventing inclusion body formation.

VAPB and its binding partner AKAP11 promote lipid droplet degradation

Shalom Borst Pauwels, Menno Spits, Lennert Janssen…·Birol Cabukusta

This study identifies VAPB and AKAP11 as regulators of lipid droplet homeostasis by mediating neutral lipid degradation through membrane contact sites and PKA activity.
