Inhibiting Enzyme Slows Huntington’s Progression in Mice and Lengthens Their Lives, Study Reports
Inhibiting the activity of an enzyme preserved the movement capabilities of mice with Huntington’s, slowed the progression of the disease and extended the animals’ lives, according to a study. The dSETDB1/ESET enzyme can disrupt a mechanism that controls normal gene expression, the researchers discovered. Alterations in that expression, along with…
