Abstract excerpt
Elongated polyglutamine stretch in mutant huntingtin (mhtt) correlates well with the pathology of Huntington's disease (HD). Inhibition of aggregation of mhtt is a promising strategy to arrest disease progression. In this work, specific, high-affinity RNA aptamers were selected against monomeric...
