Mapping the Molecular Mayhem Caused by Huntington’s Disease


Researchers have uncovered a new mechanism by which Huntington’s disease causes neuronal death. They found that toxic protein aggregates from a mutated huntingtin protein can damage the nuclear envelope, leading to DNA damage and gene misregulation in neurons. This breakthrough could link similar
