New clue emerges for cellular damage in Huntington's disease

'Huntington's disease presents an ideal vantage point to study neurodegenerative disease, because we know the misfolded protein that's responsible,' says Martin Duennwald, formerly a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Whitehead Member Susan Lindquist. 'But we don't understand how this protein causes cellular damage and death for the neurones that are affected.'...
