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 ...

Sphingomyelin and GM1 Influence Huntingtin Binding to, Disruption of, and Aggregation on Lipid Membranes [PDF]
Huntington disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disease caused by the expansion beyond a critical threshold of a polyglutamine (polyQ) tract near the N-terminus of the huntingtin (htt) protein. Expanded polyQ promotes the formation of a variety

Mitochondria and the Actin Cytoskeleton in Neurodegeneration
ABSTRACT Mitochondrial dysfunction and cytoskeletal disorganization are widely recognized hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Abstract Votoplam is a novel, orally bioavailable, small molecule HTT gene splicing modifier that is being developed for the treatment of Huntington's disease. This was a single dose, open‐label, two‐period, crossover food effect study that evaluated the effect of high‐ and low‐fat meals on 20 mg votoplam in healthy participants. There was a washout of

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 ...

MeCP2: a novel Huntingtin interactor [PDF]
Transcriptional dysregulation has been proposed to play a major role in the pathology of Huntington's disease (HD). However, the mechanisms that cause selective downregulation of target genes remain unknown. Previous studies have shown that mutant huntingtin (Htt) protein interacts with a number of transcription factors thereby altering transcription ...

Abstract Background Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by a mutation in the huntingtin gene on chromosome 4, leading to progressive cognitive decline, motor impairment, and functional disability. Although balance impairment is recognized in HD, its onset and evolution with disease stage remain poorly ...

Huntington disease (HD) is a devastating neuropsychiatric disease caused by expansion of a trinucleotide repeat (CAG) in the HD gene. Neuropathological changes include the appearance of N-terminal huntingtin fragments, decreased brain weight and ...

Huntington's Disease and Huntington's Disease‐like 2 (HDL2) in Martinique
ABSTRACT Background Huntington's Disease‐like 2 (HDL2), caused by a CAG repeat expansion in JPH3, closely resembles HD. All reported HDL2 patients to date have some African ancestry. While both disorders exist in the Caribbean, their relative frequency and clinical characteristics remain largely unknown.
