The positive influence of berberine on the nervous system can be attributed to its diverse effects on multiple targets. The effects of berberine include its antioxidant, anti‐apoptotic, anti‐necroptotic, and anti‐inflammatory properties, as well as its ability to induce autophagy.

Presynaptic APP levels and synaptic homeostasis are regulated by Akt phosphorylation of huntingtin
Studies have suggested that amyloid precursor protein (APP) regulates synaptic homeostasis, but the evidence has not been consistent. In particular, signaling pathways controlling APP transport to the synapse in axons and dendrites remain to be ...

Our study analyzed longitudinal diffusion MRI data from healthy and Huntington's disease (HD) individuals to investigate the dentato‐rubro‐thalamic tract (DRTT) in HD. Microstructural disruptions along the DRTT were linked to motor and cognitive impairments, suggesting cerebellar involvement in disease progression and highlighting DRTT alterations as ...

Detection of ubiquitinated huntingtin species in intracellular aggregates
Protein conformation diseases, including polyglutamine diseases, result from the accumulation and aggregation of misfolded proteins. Huntington’s disease is one of nine diseases caused by an expanded polyglutamine repeat within the affected protein and ...

Reduced Fractalkine Levels Lead to Striatal Synaptic Plasticity Deficits in Huntington’s Disease
Huntington’s disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder in which the striatum is the most affected brain region. Although a chronic inflammatory microglial reaction that amplifies disease progression has been described in HD patients, some ...

Curcumin regulates several signaling pathways linked to neuroprotection, such as those that reduce oxidative stress, prevent Aβ formation, and decrease neuroinflammation. ABSTRACT Progressive neuronal loss and dysfunction characterize neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases, spinal cord injury, and ...

The Ubiquitin-Proteasome Pathway in Huntington's Disease
The accumulation of mutant protein is a common feature of neurodegenerative disease. In Huntington's disease, a polyglutamine expansion in the huntingtin protein triggers neuronal toxicity.

The effects of huntingtin-lowering: what do we know so far?
Therapies targeting mutant huntingtin DNA, mRNA, and protein have a chance at becoming the first disease-modifying treatments for Huntington’s disease, a fatal inherited neurodegenerative disorder for which only symptom management treatments are ...

Human-to-mouse prion-like propagation of mutant huntingtin protein
Huntington’s disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) that is defined by a CAG expansion in exon 1 of the huntingtin gene leading to the production of mutant huntingtin (mHtt).
