First-Ever Polymer Treatment Reverses Huntington’s Symptoms in Mice – Human Trials Next?

Engineered polymers interfere with protein interactions to protect cell health in a mouse study. Researchers at Northwestern University and Case Western Reserve University have developed the first polymer-based treatment for Huntington’s disease, a progressive and incurable condition that leads to the breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. Patients with Huntington’s disease have a genetic [...]
