Increased central microglial activation associated with peripheral cytokine levels in premanifest Huntington's disease gene carriers

Neurobiology of Disease, 2015
Previous studies have shown activation of the immune system and altered immune response in Huntington's disease (HD) gene carriers. Here, we hypothesized that peripheral and central immune responses could be concurrent pathophysiological events and ...
