Esculetin Provides Neuroprotection against Mutant Huntingtin-Induced Toxicity in Huntington's Disease Models
Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by an abnormal CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion within exon 1 of the huntingtin (HTT) gene. This mutation leads to the production of mutant HTT (mHTT) protein which triggers neuronal death through several mechanisms. Here, we in...
