Sphingomyelin and GM1 Influence Huntingtin Binding to, Disruption of, and Aggregation on Lipid Membranes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Huntington disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disease caused by the expansion beyond a critical threshold of a polyglutamine (polyQ) tract near the N-terminus of the huntingtin (htt) protein. Expanded polyQ promotes the formation of a variety

Clinical trial perspective for adult and juvenile Huntington's disease using genetically-engineered mesenchymal stem cells

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2016
Progress to date from our group and others indicate that using genetically-engineered mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) to secrete brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) supports our plan to submit an Investigational New Drug application to the Food and ...

Nutritional management of individuals with Huntington’s disease: nutritional guidelines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The delivery of good nutritional care is a fundamental element of the management of individuals with Huntington’s disease and all patients with Huntington’s disease will, at some time, need dietary intervention because of the sequela of the disease; yet ...

4472 Plasma Neurofilament Light as a Biomarker for Pediatric Patients with Huntington’s Disease

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Translational Science, 2020
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The goal of this study is to compare plasma neurofilament light (NfL) concentrations in asymptomatic children and young adults that carry the gene expansion (GE group) that causes Huntington’s Disease to similar subjects that do not ...

Epigenetics and triplet-repeat neurological diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The term ‘junk DNA’ has been reconsidered following the delineation of the functional significance of repetitive DNA regions. Typically associated with centromeres and telomeres, DNA repeats are found in nearly all organisms throughout their genomes ...

Role of mitochondrial raft-like microdomains in the regulation of cell apoptosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Lipid rafts are envisaged as lateral assemblies of specific lipids and proteins that dissociate and associate rapidly and form functional clusters in cell membranes.

Huntington's like conditions in China, A review of published Chinese cases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background: Knowledge about HD in China is lacking in the international literature. We have therefore analyzed the Chinese literature to thoroughly explore the clinical characteristics of Huntington disease in China.

Genomic Analysis Reveals Disruption of Striatal Neuronal Development and Therapeutic Targets in Human Huntington's Disease Neural Stem Cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We utilized induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from Huntington's disease (HD) patients as a human model of HD and determined that the disease phenotypes only manifest in the differentiated neural stem cell (NSC) stage, not in iPSCs.

A survey-based study identifies common but unrecognized symptoms in a large series of juvenile Huntington's disease.

open access: yesNeurodegenerative Disease Management, 2017
AIM The symptoms of Huntington's disease are well known, yet the symptoms of juvenile Huntington's disease (JHD) are less established due to its rarity.

Common dysregulation network in the human prefrontal cortex underlies two neurodegenerative diseases. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Using expression profiles from postmortem prefrontal cortex samples of 624 dementia patients and non-demented controls, we investigated global disruptions in the co-regulation of genes in two neurodegenerative diseases, late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD)
