The Wnt Receptor Ryk Reduces Neuronal and Cell Survival Capacity by Repressing FOXO Activity During the Early Phases of Mutant Huntingtin Pathogenicity

A study of Huntington's disease reveals that neurons might fail to cope with maintaining their function during the pre-symptomatic, pathogenic phases of HD, possibly due to the early repression of key longevity-promoting transcription factors by abnormal developmental signaling.
