Modulation of mTOR and CREB pathways following mGluR5 blockade contribute to improved Huntington’s pathology in zQ175 mice
8 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a genetic abnormality in the huntingtin gene that leads to a polyglutamine repeat expansion of the huntingtin protein. The cleaved polyglutamine expansion of mutant huntingtin (mHTT) protein can form aggregates strongly correlated with HD progression. We have previously shown that the inhibition of mGluR5 using CTEP, a selective negative...
