Modulation of huntingtin S421 phosphorylation in a Huntington's disease mouse model and its detection in nonhuman primate cerebrospinal fluid

Margherita Verani, Paola Martufi, Lara Petricca…·Cristina Cariulo

The paper develops an ultrasensitive immunoassay to detect S421 phosphorylation of huntingtin in HD models and nonhuman primate CSF, linking it to disease progression and identifying PRKACA as a kinase involved.

Dose-dependent and disease-modifying effects of striatal infusion of cholesterol in Huntington's disease

Giulia Birolini, Marta Valenza, Eleonora Di Paolo…·Elena F. Cattaneo

This study shows that striatal cholesterol infusion prevents cognitive decline and improves motor function in HD mice, with dose-dependent benefits and synaptic recovery.
