Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is a monogenic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by extensive brain pathology. While its underlying cause has been attributed to intracellular mutant huntingtin (mHTT), growing evidence reveals that mHTT is also present, and biologically active, outside cells. Detected in cerebrospinal fluid, plasma, and brain tissue, extracellular mHTT can induce toxicity and spread between...
