Testicular degeneration in Huntington disease
Huntington disease (HD) is an adult onset, neurodegenerative disorder that results from CAG expansion in the HD gene. Recent work has demonstrated testicular degeneration in mouse models of HD and alterations in the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG ...

Detecting Daily Living Gait Amid Huntington's Disease Chorea using a Foundation Deep Learning Model [PDF]
Wearable sensors offer a non-invasive way to collect physical activity (PA) data, with walking as a key component. Existing models often struggle to detect gait bouts in individuals with neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) involving involuntary movements.

Mitochondrial dysfunction: Related diseases, influencing factors, and detection
Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases, including neurological disorders, cancers, and cardiovascular conditions, through mechanisms such as mitochondrial DNA mutations, dysregulation of mitochondrial network dynamics, and impaired mitophagy.

MR‐Guidance of Gene Therapy for Brain Diseases: Moving From Palliative Treatment to Cures
ABSTRACT Regulatory bodies in the U.S. and Europe recently approved a gene therapy for aromatic L‐amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency, a rare neurologic disorder where a genetic mutation prevents dopamine production in the brain. Affected children fail to develop normal motor and cognitive functions.

Explainable AI model reveals disease-related mechanisms in single-cell RNA-seq data [PDF]
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) are complex and lack effective treatment due to their poorly understood mechanism. The increasingly used data analysis from Single nucleus RNA Sequencing (snRNA-seq) allows to explore transcriptomic events at a single cell level, yet face challenges in interpreting the mechanisms underlying a disease. On the other hand,
