Molecular Chaperones as A Therapeutic Approach to Huntington’s Disease
Neuronal cell death in subpopulations of brains affected by Huntington’s disease has been theorised to be due to cell cytotoxicity. The cause of this cytotoxicity, however, is not yet known. One mutant allele of the Huntingtin gene is sufficient to cause the disorder through the synthesis of the...
