    CryoET reveals organelle phenotypes in huntington disease patient iPSC-derived and mouse primary neurons

    Huntington’s disease (HD) is caused by an expanded CAG repeat in the huntingtin gene, yielding a Huntingtin protein with an expanded polyglutamine tract. While experiments with patient-derived induced pluripot...

    Cryo-electron tomography provides topological insights into mutant huntingtin exon 1 and polyQ aggregates

    Huntington disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative trinucleotide repeat disorder caused by an expanded poly-glutamine (polyQ) tract in the mutant huntingtin (mHTT) protein. The formation and topology of filamentou...
