Decoding Non-Neuronal Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets in Huntington's Disease Through Integrative Transcriptomics and Machine Learning.

Journal of molecular neuroscience : MN
Huntington's disease (HD) is a rare, inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by the expanded CAG repeats in the huntingtin gene. The HD domain still lacks detailed knowledge of validated drug targets, limiting the effectiveness of classical metho...

Self-driving microscopy detects the onset of protein aggregation and enables intelligent Brillouin imaging.

Nature communications
The process of protein aggregation, central to neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington's, is challenging to study due to its unpredictable nature and relatively rapid kinetics. Understanding its biomechanics is crucial for unraveling its role in d...

Intersecting impact of CAG repeat and huntingtin knockout in stem cell-derived cortical neurons.

Neurobiology of disease
Huntington's Disease (HD) is caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the gene encoding huntingtin (HTT). While normal HTT function appears impacted by the mutation, the specific pathways unique to CAG repeat expansion versus loss of normal function are u...

Prognostic enrichment for early-stage Huntington's disease: An explainable machine learning approach for clinical trial.

NeuroImage. Clinical
BACKGROUND: In Huntington's disease clinical trials, recruitment and stratification approaches primarily rely on genetic load, cognitive and motor assessment scores. They focus less on in vivo brain imaging markers, which reflect neuropathology well ...

Aberrant migration features in primary skin fibroblasts of Huntington's disease patients hold potential for unraveling disease progression using an image based machine learning tool.

Computers in biology and medicine
Huntington's disease (HD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder with considerable heterogeneity in clinical manifestations. While CAG repeat length is a known predictor of disease severity, this heterogeneity suggests the involvement of additional ...

External evaluation of a deep learning-based approach for automated brain volumetry in patients with huntington's disease.

Scientific reports
A crucial step in the clinical adaptation of an AI-based tool is an external, independent validation. The aim of this study was to investigate brain atrophy in patients with confirmed, progressed Huntington's disease using a certified software for au...

Label-free identification of protein aggregates using deep learning.

Nature communications
Protein misfolding and aggregation play central roles in the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), including Huntington's disease, which is caused by a genetic mutation in exon 1 of the Huntingtin protein (Httex1). The fluorescen...

Deep-learning analysis of micropattern-based organoids enables high-throughput drug screening of Huntington's disease models.

Cell reports methods
Organoids are carrying the promise of modeling complex disease phenotypes and serving as a powerful basis for unbiased drug screens, potentially offering a more efficient drug-discovery route. However, unsolved technical bottlenecks of reproducibilit...

Hahn-PCNN-CNN: an end-to-end multi-modal brain medical image fusion framework useful for clinical diagnosis.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: In medical diagnosis of brain, the role of multi-modal medical image fusion is becoming more prominent. Among them, there is no lack of filtering layered fusion and newly emerging deep learning algorithms. The former has a fast fusion spe...

Identification of contributing genes of Huntington's disease by machine learning.

BMC medical genomics
BACKGROUND: Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited disorder caused by the polyglutamine (poly-Q) mutations of the HTT gene results in neurodegeneration characterized by chorea, loss of coordination, cognitive decline. However, HD pathogenesis is s...
