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...
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 ...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...

The basal ganglia (BG) represent a critical center of the nervous system for sensorial discrimination. Although it is known that Huntington's disease (HD) affects this brain area, it still remains unclear how HD patients achieve paradoxical improveme...
To diagnose neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), physicians have been clinically evaluating symptoms. However, these symptoms are not very dependable-particularly in the early stages of the diseases. This study has therefore proposed a novel classifica...
