A phenolic-rich extract from Ugni molinae berries reduces abnormal protein aggregation in a cellular model of Huntington's disease.

Accumulation of misfolded proteins in the brain is a common hallmark of most age-related neurodegenerative diseases. Previous studies from our group identified the presence of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds in leaves derived from the Chilean berry Ugni molinae (murtilla), in addition to...
