Defective Glial Cell Development Seen in Huntington's Disease Model
The neurological disorder Huntington’s disease causes behavioural and motor changes. A new study based on mice trials shows that these changes are caused by, amongst other things, dysfunctional maturation or formation of glial cells, the brain's support cells. The researchers’ long-term goal is to be able to use the research results to develop a treatment for Huntington’s disease using glial cells.
