UBL3 Interacts with PolyQ-Expanded Huntingtin Fragments and Modifies Their Intracellular Sorting

Neurology International
Background/Objectives: UBL3 (Ubiquitin-like 3) is a protein that plays a crucial role in post-translational modifications, particularly in regulating protein transport within small extracellular vesicles. While previous research has predominantly focused

Unraveling the Dynamics of Oxytocin in Hypothalamic Neurons

Traffic, Volume 27, Issue 2, June 2026.
Oxytocin (OT) plays an important role in regulating social behavior, and dysregulation of the oxytocinergic system leads to social impairments, such as autism spectrum disorder. Central OT release is poorly understood. Using live‐cell imaging to track vesicle trajectories, combined with machine learning‐based classification, the analysis reveals ...

Proteostasis in striatal cells and selective neurodegeneration in Huntington’s disease

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014
Selective neuronal loss is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases, including Huntington’s disease (HD). Although mutant huntingtin, the protein responsible for Huntington’s disease, is expressed ubiquitously, a subpopulation of neurons in the striatum ...

Discovery and Targeted Proteomic Studies Reveal Striatal Markers Validated for Huntington's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 5, Page 911-923, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Clinical trials for Huntington's disease (HD) enrolling persons before clinical motor diagnosis (CMD) lack validated biomarkers. This study aimed to conduct an unbiased discovery analysis and a targeted examination of proteomic biomarkers scrutinized by clinical validation. Methods Cerebrospinal fluid was obtained from PREDICT‐HD and

Reduction of mutant huntingtin accumulation and toxicity by lysosomal cathepsins D and B in neurons

Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2011
Background Huntington's disease is caused by aggregation of mutant huntingtin (mHtt) protein containing more than a 36 polyQ repeat. Upregulation of macroautophagy was suggested as a neuroprotective strategy to degrade mutant huntingtin.

A Cationic Block Co‐Polymer for Gene Delivery in the Posterior Segment of the Eye

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Diseases of the back of the eye such as neovascular age‐related macular degeneration (nAMD) are vision threatening and treatment is burdensome for patients, often requiring ocular injections every other month. Injection risks and logistics lower patient compliance; however, even patients receiving optimal treatment can deteriorate.

Compounds blocking mutant huntingtin toxicity identified using a Huntington's disease neuronal cell model

Neurobiology of Disease, 2005
Neuronal cell death in HD is believed to be largely a dominant cell-autonomous effect of the mutant huntingtin protein. We previously developed an inducible PC12 cell model which expresses an N-terminal huntingtin fragment with an expanded poly Q repeat (

Cell Mechanics in Cancer: Integrating Mechanotransduction Pathways Within the Tumor Microenvironment

Journal of Cellular Physiology, Volume 241, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Single‐cell mechanical properties such as stiffness, elasticity, and viscosity, are crucial in governing biological processes like migration, proliferation, and differentiation. In cancer, the mechanical properties of cells undergo significant alterations, which contribute to tumor growth, metastasis, and resistance to therapy.
