Striatal Vulnerability in Huntington’s Disease: Neuroprotection Versus Neurotoxicity

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2017
Huntington’s disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease caused by the expansion of a CAG trinucleotide repeat encoding an abnormally long polyglutamine tract (PolyQ) in the huntingtin (Htt) protein.

Regional Functional Molecular Profiles Within the Mammalian Cortex: A Commentary on Limbic Mesocortex

open access: yesJournal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 8, August 2026.
Two lateral mouse brain sagittal sections labeled, respectively, for Lypd1 (A) and Kcnab3 (B). (A) Lypd1 labels positively cortical Layers 2 and 5 (less heavily), but only at limbic mesocortical sites, forming the limbic ring that separates the unlabeled isocortex (IsoCx) from the unlabeled hippocampal and olfactory allocortex (Hi, Sub, ERh; OlfCx ...

Identification of Binding Sites in Huntingtin for the Huntingtin Interacting Proteins HIP14 and HIP14L

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Huntington disease is an adult onset neurodegenerative disease characterized by motor, cognitive, and psychiatric dysfunction, caused by a CAG expansion in the HTT gene. Huntingtin Interacting Protein 14 (HIP14) and Huntingtin Interacting Protein 14-like (HIP14L) are palmitoyl acyltransferases (PATs), enzymes that mediate the post-translational ...

The Recommendation Paradox: Perspectives on Genetic Testing in Huntington's Disease Families

open access: yesJournal of Genetic Counseling, Volume 35, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Huntington's disease (HD) families face complex decisions about predictive genetic testing and reproductive options, including preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), and particularly PGT for Monogenic Disorders (PGT‐M). We examined attitudes toward genetic testing and reproductive options across affected groups within HD families (e.g., people

Recent Advances in Photocatalyst‐Driven Protein Labeling and Proximity Mapping

open access: yesThe Chemical Record, Volume 26, Issue 8, August 2026.
Photocatalyst‐driven protein labeling and proximity mapping have rapidly advanced as powerful strategies for spatiotemporal control in complex biological environments. This review integrates recent developments across single‐electron transfer and energy transfer‐based mechanisms and highlights how catalyst design, reactive intermediates, and diffusion ...

Characterization of the Huntingtin gene promoter and Huntingtin transcriptional regulation

open access: yes, 2015
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a late onset, neurological, autosomal dominant genetic disorder. Despite being associated to a defined genetic mutation within the huntingtin gene (HTT), little is known about its transcriptional regulation. HTT is expressed, at varying levels, throughout the body.

Pathogenic Huntingtin aggregates alter actin organization and cellular stiffness resulting in stalled clathrin-mediated endocytosis

open access: yeseLife
Aggregation of mutant forms of Huntingtin is the underlying feature of neurodegeneration observed in Huntington’s disorder. In addition to neurons, cellular processes in non-neuronal cell types are also shown to be affected.

Transcriptional Regulation of the Huntingtin Gene

open access: yesJournal of Huntington's Disease, 2018
Huntington’s disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG trinucleotide expansion in the HTT gene, which encodes for an abnormal polyglutamine tract in the huntingtin protein (HTT). This review examines the known mechanisms of HTT gene regulation.

The Ubiquitin-Proteasome Pathway in Huntington's Disease

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2008
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.
