• The Huntington gene and respiratory chain enzyme activity

• Umbilical cord blood cells for Huntington's disease

• BDNF can protect striatal neurons in Huntington's Disease

• Ciliary neurotrophic factor can be neuroprotective in Huntington's Disease

• BDNF and neurotrophins prevent neuronal death in rat models of Huntington's Disease

• Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor and neurturin protect striatal projection neurons in animal models of Huntington's Disease

• CNTF prevents motor and cognitive dysfunction in rat models of Huntington's disease

• Sirtuin proteins can protect neurons in Huntington's disease and can be increased by resveratrol
