Campus Connection: UW research hints at potential for Huntington?s treatment

Researchers working on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus have found a way to use neurons derived from human embryonic stem cells to restore muscle coordination in mice inflicted with a Huntington?s disease-like condition….?This is very exciting, and next we?ll try to move onto different models, particularly in primates, to see whether this actually works in a larger brain,? says Su-Chun Zhang, a UW-Madison neuroscientist and the senior author of the study.
