Molecular Interactions Identified That Block Protein Transfer into Mitochondria of Huntington's Disease Neurons

Researchers have identified a protein complex that interacts with the mutated form of huntingtin protein to impair transport of proteins into the mitochondria of brain cells, which leads to their malfunction and the loss of neurons that characterizes Huntington's disease.  More...
