Metallothioneins and copper metabolism are candidate therapeutic targets in Huntington’s disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
HD (Huntington's disease) is caused by a polyQ (polyglutamine) expansion in the huntingtin protein, which leads to protein misfolding and aggregation of this protein. Abnormal copper accumulation in the HD brain was first reported more than 15 years ago.

Validation of a score tool for measurement of histological severity in juvenile dermatomyositis and association with clinical severity of disease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
OBJECTIVES: To study muscle biopsy tissue from patients with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) in order to test the reliability of a score tool designed to quantify the severity of histological abnormalities when applied to biceps humeri in addition to ...

Brain microvascular endothelial cell dysfunction in an isogenic juvenile iPSC model of Huntington’s disease

open access: yesFluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2022
Huntington’s disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disease caused by expansion of cytosine–adenine–guanine (CAG) repeats in the huntingtin gene, which leads to neuronal loss and decline in cognitive and motor function.

Postnatal Foxp2 regulates early psychiatric-like phenotypes and associated molecular alterations in the R6/1 transgenic mouse model of Huntington's disease

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2022
Huntington's Disease (HD) is a devastating disorder characterized by a triad of motor, psychiatric and cognitive manifestations. Psychiatric and emotional symptoms appear at early stages of the disease which are consistently described by patients and ...

Pluripotent stem cell-derived models of neurological diseases reveal early transcriptional heterogeneity

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2021
Background Many neurodegenerative diseases develop only later in life, when cells in the nervous system lose their structure or function. In many forms of neurodegenerative diseases, this late-onset phenomenon remains largely unexplained.

“Ectopic” theta oscillations and interictal activity during slow-wave state in the R6/1 mouse model of Huntington's disease

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2012
The pathophysiology of Huntington's disease (HD) is primarily associated with striatal degeneration and a number of behavioral symptoms such as involuntary movements, cognitive decline, psychiatric disorders, and in the most juvenile-onset cases with ...

Movement Disorders in Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Monogenic developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE) frequently feature co‐occurring movement disorders. Gene discovery has expanded epilepsy‐dyskinesia syndromes (EDS) from classic associations such as stereotypies in Rett syndrome to PRRT2‐related infantile seizures with paroxysmal dyskinesia and crouched gait in SCN1A ...

STIM2 Mediates Excessive Store-Operated Calcium Entry in Patient-Specific iPSC-Derived Neurons Modeling a Juvenile Form of Huntington's Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Huntington's disease (HD) is a severe autosomal-dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by a mutation within a gene, encoding huntingtin protein. Here we have used the induced pluripotent stem cell technology to produce patient-specific terminally ...
