Abstract excerpt
Central nervous system (CNS) inflammatory processes including microglial activation have been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington Disease (HD). We report age-dependent changes in striatal microglial morphology and vasculature in the YAC128 mouse model of HD. Decreases in microglial ramification along with a decrease in vessel diameter and increased vessel density and...
