The mutated huntingtin protein slows ribosome movement and decreases protein synthesis.
Astrocytes may be good targets to prevent, or even reverse, the effects of normal aging, researchers suggest.
A new study adds to evidence that reducing protein synthesis could help to extend lifespan.
Researchers explore the physical processes that occur as memories are formed.
Researchers find a single gene which encodes two separate proteins from the same sequence of messenger RNA. The finding could provide new strategies for treating SCA6.
