16 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration in the striatum of Huntingon's Disease (HD) brain are currently unknown. While the striatum is massively degenerated in symptomatic individuals, which makes cellular characterization difficult, it is largely intact in asymptomatic HD gene positive (HD+) individuals. Unfortunately, as striatal tissue samples from HD+ individuals are exceedingly rare, recent...
