          CRISPR Technology Improves Huntington’s Disease Symptoms in Models

          Using CRISPR gene editing to directly target RNA, researchers eliminated toxic protein buildup associated with Huntington's disease while not disrupting other human genes.

          Rare Genetic Phenomenon Linked to Neuron Function and Schizophrenia

          People with schizophrenia have significantly higher rates of tandem repeats in their genome, up to 7% more than in people without the mental health disorder. The genes were primarily found in genes crucial to brain function.

          Study Probes Huntington’s Disease Protein’s Function in Injured Neurons

          The Huntington's disease protein huntingtin may have a role external to the neurodegenerative disease. Researchers say Huntingtin is involved in neural injury and regeneration.

          Study Reveals Intricate Details About Huntington’s Disease Protein

          A mutated form of the huntingtin protein disrupts the normal movement of vesicles holding HT and Rab4. This leads to defects in synapses, resulting in movement abnormalities and lifespan decreases in fruit fly larvae. Findings suggest Rab4 could be a novel therapeutic target for the early intervention of Huntington's disease, before the neuronal loss and behavioral deficits associated with the neurodegenerative disorder.

          When damaged, the adult brain repairs itself by going back to the beginning

          Mouse models of corticospinal injuries reveal adult neurons begin a natural regeneration process by reverting back to an embryonic state. The regeneration is sustained with the help of a gene more commonly associated with Huntington's disease.
