Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is a fatal inherited neurodegenerative disorder. HD is caused by polyglutamine expansions in the huntingtin (htt) protein that result in neuronal loss and contribute to HD pathology. The mechanisms of neuronal loss in HD are elusive, and there is no therapy to alleviate HD. To find small molecules that slow neuronal loss in HD, we screened 1,040 biologically active molecules to identify...
