Cracking the Protein Puzzle in HD: New Blueprints Offer Hope for Stopping Damage Early
Scientists have imaged the toxic clumps and fibres made by expanded huntingtin with cutting-edge microscopes, helping us to understand the exact way they can be assembled and how their structure could be altered for potential therapeutic gain.Â
