Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is the most common inherited neurodegenerative disorder and one of the nine polyglutamine (polyQ) diseases. HD is characterized by the pathological aggregation of the misfolded huntingtin exon 1 protein (Httex1) with abnormally long polyQ expansion due to genetic mutation. While there is currently no effective treatment for HD, inhibition of aggregate formation represents a direct...
