Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells from Patients with Huntington’s Disease : Show CAG Repeat-Expansion-Associated Phenotypes

TLDR
The generation and characterization of 14 induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from HD patients and controls reveal CAG-repeat-expansion-associated gene expression patterns that distinguish patient lines from controls, and early onset versus late onset HD.

Inhibition of mitochondrial fragmentation diminishes Huntington’s disease–associated neurodegeneration

TL;DR: Data indicate that inhibition of DRP1-dependent excessive mitochondrial fission with a P110-TAT-like inhibitor may prevent or slow the progression of HD.

Generation of Human Striatal Neurons by MicroRNA-Dependent Direct Conversion of Fibroblasts

TL;DR: It is shown that coexpression of miR-9/9*-124 with transcription factors enriched in the developing striatum, BCL11B,DLX1, DLX2, and MYT1L, can guide the conversion of human postnatal and adult fibroblasts into an enriched population of neurons analogous to striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs).

Use of Differentiated Pluripotent Stem Cells in Replacement Therapy for Treating Disease

TL;DR: The extent to which hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and cell therapy for diabetes, liver disease, muscular dystrophies, neurodegenerative disorders, and heart disease would be affected by the availability of precisely differentiated PSCs is examined.

Induction of Pluripotent Stem Cells from Adult Human Fibroblasts by Defined Factors

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that iPS cells can be generated from adult human fibroblasts with the same four factors: Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Lines Derived from Human Somatic Cells

TL;DR: This article showed that OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, and LIN28 factors are sufficient to reprogram human somatic cells to pluripotent stem cells that exhibit the essential characteristics of embryonic stem (ES) cells.

A novel gene containing a trinucleotide repeat that is expanded and unstable on Huntington's disease chromosomes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used haplotype analysis of linkage disequilibrium to spotlight a small segment of 4p16.3 as the likely location of the defect, which is expanded and unstable on HD chromosomes.

Supporting Online Material for Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Lines Derived from Human Somatic Cells

TL;DR: Yu et al. as discussed by the authors proposed online material for induced pluripotent stem cell lines derived from human Somatic Cells, which can be used for transplanting human stem cells to humans.
