Huntington’s disease is caused by a mutation in the gene that codes for the protein huntingtin (HTT). A therapeutic strategy for Huntington’s disease is to lower the levels of huntingtin in the brain. However, multiple clinical trials have been stopped due to adverse effects. This indicates that there is still a lot that we do not understand about huntingtin. Similarly to other neurodegenerative d

Research shows that young people within ethnic minorities are subjected to police control more often than others, which seems to have a damaging effect on their trust in the police as well as on their wider sense of belonging. What is less often researched is how these young people deal with being over-policed.

Presentation of a protein antigen to T cells generally requires that the antigen be enzymatically processed into an immunogenic peptide(s). The identification of a protease(s) and its mechanism of action in the proteolysis of such an antigen is therefore a primary goal in the study of antigen processing. We show here that Insulin degrading enzyme (IDE), a neutral thiol metalloendo-proteinase that

Context. Among the thousands of exoplanets discovered to date, approximately a few hundred gas giants on short-period orbits are classified as 'lonely'and only a few are in a multi-planet system with a smaller companion on a close orbit. The processes that formed multi-planet systems hosting gas giants on close orbits are poorly understood, and only a few examples of this kind of system have been
