Gene therapy conversion of striatal astrocytes into GABAergic neurons in mouse models of Huntington’s disease
In vivo reprogramming of reactive glia using transfection of a single transcription factor has been described before by these authors and applied to models of neurodegeneration. Here the authors use this procedure in the R6/2 mouse model of Huntington’s disease, targeting astrocytes in the striatum,...
