Summary:
- This article presents research on the development of a new gene therapy approach to treat Huntington's disease, a devastating genetic disorder that affects the brain.
- The researchers used a novel gene editing technique to target and silence the mutant huntingtin gene responsible for Huntington's disease in a mouse model.
- The treatment was shown to effectively reduce the expression of the mutant gene and improve motor function and survival in the treated mice, suggesting it could be a promising potential therapy for Huntington's disease in the future.
