    Metformin reverses early cortical network dysfunction and behavior changes in Huntington’s disease

    Isabelle Arnoux, Michael Willam ... Albrecht Stroh
    In a premanifest mouse model of Huntington's disease at a stage very far from disease onset, significant network and behavior dysregulation was found, being rebalanced by treatment with metformin.

    Real-time imaging of Huntingtin aggregates diverting target search and gene transcription

    Li Li, Hui Liu ... Zhe Liu
    Live imaging captures dynamics of Huntingtin aggregates plaguing the genome and waylaying target search.

    Base editing strategies to convert CAG to CAA diminish the disease-causing mutation in Huntington’s disease

    Doo Eun Choi, Jun Wan Shin ... Jong-Min Lee
    Uninterrupted CAG repeat length determines onset age in Huntington's disease, and therefore, base editing strategies to generate CAA interruption offer new therapeutic opportunities as they diminish the disease-causing mutation.

    Downregulation of glial genes involved in synaptic function mitigates Huntington's disease pathogenesis

    Tarik Seref Onur, Andrew Laitman ... Juan Botas
    Cross-species transcriptomic analysis and high-throughput behavioral assays in a Drosophila model of Huntington's disease show that downregulation of glial genes involved in synaptic function compensates for disease-related excitotoxicity.

    A novel and accurate full-length HTT mouse model for Huntington’s disease

    Sushila A Shenoy, Sushuang Zheng ... Chenjian Li
    A novel BAC226Q mouse recapitulating robust, age-dependent, progressive Huntington’s disease (HD)-like phenotypes will be a valuable tool for studying disease mechanisms, identifying biomarkers, and testing gene-targeting therapeutic approaches for HD.

    Histone deacetylase knockouts modify transcription, CAG instability and nuclear pathology in Huntington disease mice

    Marina Kovalenko, Serkan Erdin ... Vanessa C Wheeler
    Genetic knockout of Hdac2 modifies molecular and cellular phenotypes in Huntington’s disease mice and has a prominent transcriptional regulatory role in adult medium spiny neurons.

    TRiC’s tricks inhibit huntingtin aggregation

    Sarah H Shahmoradian, Jesus G Galaz-Montoya ... Wah Chiu
    Cryo-electron tomography reveals how a chaperone protein called TRiC reduces the ability of pathogenic mutant huntingtin proteins to form aggregates.

    Huntingtin’s spherical solenoid structure enables polyglutamine tract-dependent modulation of its structure and function

    Ravi Vijayvargia, Raquel Epand ... Ihn Sik Seong
    Structural and biochemical analysis of full-length huntingtin protein illuminates the impact of the polyglutamine region on its structure and function.

    Control of the structural landscape and neuronal proteotoxicity of mutant Huntingtin by domains flanking the polyQ tract

    Koning Shen, Barbara Calamini ... Judith Frydman
    The polyQ tract of pathogenic Huntingtin causes aggregation when expanded in Huntington’s disease, but its two flanking domains control its conformational landscape, proteostasis and neurotoxicity.
