Huntington's disease (HD) is characterized by a late clinical onset despite ubiquitous expression of the mutant gene at all developmental stages. How mutant huntingtin impacts on signalling pathways in the pre-symptomatic period has remained essentially unexplored in humans due to a lack of appro...

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are a most appealing source for cell replacement therapy in acute brain lesions. We evaluated the potential of hiPSC therapy in stroke by transplanting hiPSC-derived neural progenitor cells (NPCs) into the postischemic striatum. Grafts received host t...

Pluripotent stem cell (PSC) technologies are becoming a key asset for deciphering pathological cascades and for developing new treatments against many neurodegenerative disorders, including Huntington's disease (HD). This perspective discusses the challenges and opportunities facing the use of PS...
