This study assessed the potential for functional and anatomical recovery of the diseased aged primate nigrostriatal system, in response to trophic factor gene transfer. Aged rhesus monkeys received a single intracarotid infusion of MPTP, followed one week ...
Gene expression changes are a hallmark of the neuropathology of Huntington's disease (HD), but the exact molecular mechanisms of this effect remain uncertain. Here, we report that in vitro models of disease comprised of primary striatal neurons expressing ...
Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurological disorder characterized by striatal degeneration, motor symptoms and complex neuropsychiatric alterations. There is currently no genetic model of HD in non-human primates (NHPs). In this study we investigated neur ...
Genetic and chemically induced neuronopathic mouse models of Gaucher disease were developed to facilitate understanding of the reversibility and/or progression of CNS involvement. The lethality of the skin permeability barrier defect of the complete gene k ...
Transcriptional dysregulation caused by expanded polyglutamines (polyGlns) in huntingtin (htt) may be central to cell-autonomous mechanisms for neuronal cell death in Huntington's disease (HD) pathogenesis. We hypothesized that these mechanisms may involve ...
Objective: Huntington's disease (HD) is a fatal autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by a polyglutamine expansion in the huntingtin (htt) protein. No cure is available to date to alleviate neurodegeneration. Recent studies have demonstrated ...
Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expansion of glutamine repeats in the huntingtin (htt) protein. Abnormal protein folding and the accumulation of mutated htt are hallmarks of HD neuropathology. Heat-shock pr ...
Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance. It is caused by a singular mutation in exon 1 of the HD gene encoding an abnormal polyglutamine (polyQ) expansion in the N-terminal region of the hun ...
Human neural progenitor cells (hNPC) hold great potential as an ex vivo system for delivery of therapeutic proteins to the central nervous system. When cultured as aggregates, termed neurospheres, hNPC are capable of significant in vitro expansion. In the ...
Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal, dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by expansion of a glutamine (polyQ) repeat in the huntingtin (htt) protein. The selective striatal neurodegeneration induced by this disease causes choreic in ...
