Abstract

In this article, Cattaneo, Buffo, Besusso, and colleagues investigate the short-term in vivo therapeutic benefits of a cell replacement approach for Huntington disease (HD) using hESC-derived MSN progenitors. Upon intra-striatal transplantation in a neurotoxin model of HD, donor cells survive and mature in the host tissue reaching appropriate target regions, establishing synaptic contacts and mitigating lesion-dependent sensorimotor deficits.
