Involvement of CRMP2 in Regulation of Mitochondrial Morphology and Motility in Huntington’s Disease

Mitochondrial morphology and motility (mitochondrial dynamics) play a major role in the proper functioning of distant synapses. In Huntington’s disease (HD), mitochondria become fragmented and less motile, but the mechanisms leading to these changes are not clear. Here, we found that collapsin respo...

Involvement of CRMP2 in Regulation of Mitochondrial Morphology and Motility in Huntington’s Disease
description Mitochondrial morphology and motility (mitochondrial dynamics) play a major role in the proper functioning of distant synapses. In Huntington’s disease (HD), mitochondria become fragmented and less motile, but the mechanisms leading to these changes are not clear.
