  1. The Human Protein Atlas - Tissue entry for huntingtin states that it has cytoplasmic expression in most tissues:
    proteinatlas.org/ENSG000001973

    We know about it because of its role in Huntington disease - a disease that is thought of as being primarily neurological, and is treated by neurologists. However, Huntington disease is a multi-system disorder. Non-CNS pathology includes skeletal muscle atrophy, cardiomyopathy, severe weight loss with altered metabolism, testicular degeneration, and immune cell dysfunction affecting peripheral organs.

  15. Huntington's disease, a fatal genetic condition, has been successfully treated for the first time. @BBCNews reports on a type of gene therapy developed at University College London that slows the disease by 75% in patients. It offers the first signs of hope for sufferers of this brutal and terrible condition, which kills brain cells, leading to symptoms that resemble dementia, Parkinson's and motor neurone disease, and is usually fatal within two decades of diagnosis.

  20. 🧓 How aging drives neurodegenerative diseases 🧠

    A research team at the University of Cologne has identified a direct molecular link between aging and neurodegeneration by investigating how age-related changes in cell signalling contribute to toxic protein aggregation.

    💊 The results could lead to new therapies for #ALS, Huntington's disease and other age-related brain disorders.

  25. A Gene Editing Strategy to Repair Huntington's Defects

    "A lot more studies would be needed before we can know if disrupting these repeats with a base editor could be a viable therapeutic strategy to treat patients. But being able to illuminate the biological consequences of interrupted repeats is a really useful and important milestone," explained senior study author Dr David Liu.
