Human striatal progenitor cells that contain inducible safeguards and overexpress BDNF rescue Huntington’s disease phenotypes in R6/2 mice
2024-05-01
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Huntington’s disease (HD) is an autosomal-dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by striatal atrophy. Reduced trophic support due to decreased striatal levels of neurotrophins (NTs), mainly brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), contributes importantly to HD pathogenesis; restoring NTs has significant therapeutic potential. Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) offer a scalable platfo...
