In vivo evidence for NMDA receptor mediated excitotoxicity in a murine genetic model of Huntington Disease [PDF]

, 2008
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) mediated excitotoxicity is implicated as a proximate cause of neurodegeneration in Huntington Disease (HD). However, this hypothesis has not been tested rigorously in vivo. NMDAR NR2B-subunits are the predominant NR2

Alzheimer's Disease Risk Factor APOE4 Exerts Dimorphic Effects on Female Bone

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In aging bone, osteocytes accumulate neurodegenerative risk factor Apolipoprotein E (APOE). A humanized version of the Alzheimer's disease risk allele APOE4 altered the mouse bone transcriptome and proteome, with effects in female bone surpassing the brain, including bone fragility due to suppressed osteocytic maintenance of bone quality, identifying ...

The human olfactory bulb in Huntington's disease: sex-specific differences in volume and gliosis

Neurobiology of Disease
Huntington's disease is a multisystemic neurodegenerative disorder for which increasing evidence suggests early involvement of brain regions beyond the primarily affected motor areas of the brain, such as the olfactory bulb, which is affected by multiple

Mitochondrial Enzymes Mimetic Ultrasmall Palladium Nanozymes Prevent Senescence and Neurodegeneration Through Metabolic Reprogramming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Simply constructed polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) modified palladium nanoparticles (PdP NPs) as cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimic are promising multifunctional nanoreactors to boost mitochondrial respiration chain function and refine homeostasis via regulation of mitochondrial dynamics and proteostasis sensor UPRmt, which ...

Precise CAG repeat contraction in a Huntington’s Disease mouse model is enabled by gene editing with SpCas9-NG

Communications Biology, 2021
Seiya Oura and Taichi Noda et al. overcome the challenge of gene editing in CAG repeats, such as those causing Huntington’s Disease, using their recently developed SpCas9-NG variant. They demonstrate that SpCas9-NG can precisely edit and contract the CAG

The role of tau in the pathological process and clinical expression of Huntington's disease. [PDF]

, 2015
Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by an abnormal CAG repeat expansion within exon 1 of the huntingtin gene HTT. While several genetic modifiers, distinct from the Huntington's disease locus itself, have been identified as being ...

Engineering Microbial Particles for Next‐Generation Biomedical Platforms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microbe‐derived particles (MDPs), which include extracellular vesicles, outer membrane vesicles, inclusion bodies, polysaccharide particles, and virus‐like particles, represent a rapidly expanding category of bioinspired nanomaterials. With their natural origin, intrinsic biocompatibility, and highly programmable functionality, MDPs serve as a ...

A 24-Hour Study of the Hypothalamo-Pituitary Axes in Huntington's Disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Huntington's disease is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder characterised by motor, cognitive and psychiatric disturbances. Patients exhibit other symptoms including sleep and mood disturbances, muscle atrophy and weight loss which may be linked to ...

The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in Huntington's disease. [PDF]

, 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.
