Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive motor dysfunction, dementia, psychiatric symptoms, and weight loss, eventually leading to death. Postmortem analysis of the brains of HD patie ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 mid-life-onset neurodegenerative disorder characterized by involuntary movements, personality changes and dementia. It progresses to death within 10-20 years after onset. There is currently no cure to treat this fatal disease ...
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 ...
Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by an abnormal expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) repeat in the huntingtin protein. Insulin-like growth factor-1 acting through the prosurvival kinase Akt mediates the phosphorylation of huntingtin at S421 and inhibits the t ...
The insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1)/Akt pathway plays a crucial role in Huntington's disease by phosphorylating the causative protein, polyQ-huntingtin, and abolishing its toxic properties [Humbert et al. (2002)Dev. Cell, 2, 831-837; Rangone et al. (2 ...
Huntington's disease (HD), an inherited neurodegenerative disorder, results from an abnormal polyglutamine extension in the N-terminal region of the huntingtin protein. This mutation leads to protein aggregation and neurotoxicity. Despite its widespread ex ...
To test the hypotheses that mutant huntingtin protein length and wild-type huntingtin dosage have important effects on disease-related transcriptional dysfunction, we compared the changes in mRNA in seven genetic mouse models of Huntington's disease (HD) a ...
