Huntington's Disease Advance: Overactive Protein Triggers a Chain Reaction That Causes Brain Nerve Cells to Die
February 22, 2011 — A major leap forward in understanding Huntington's disease may give patients hope for a cure. Laboratory tests on skin cells and post-mortem brain tissue of Huntington's disease patients determined ... > full story -
How Disordered Proteins Spread from Cell to Cell, Potentially Spreading Disease
February 18, 2011 — Misfolded proteins can get into cells and form large aggregates by recruiting normal proteins. These aggregates are associated with neurodegenerative diseases. A new study finds that the protein ... > full story -
