Funded Activity Summary

The proposed study investigates important questions related to restoration of brain functions in a neurodegenerative disease, Huntington's disease, using neural stem cells (precursors of nerve cells). It will expand our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the development of Huntington's disease, and provide insights into potential therapeutic use of neural stem cells for the currently incurable Huntington's disease.
