Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: In neurodegenerative diseases caused by misfolded proteins, including Huntington's disease (HD), the neuronal processes and terminals are particularly prone to the accumulation of misfolded proteins, leading to axonal and synaptic dysfunction. This compartment-dependent accumulation can result from either the altered transport of misfolded proteins or impaired protein degradation. Mutant huntingtin...
