Professor Yinsheng Wang, his Research Group and Collaborators Make Discovery of Mechanism Underlying Huntington's Disease

Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and ETOX faculty member Yinsheng Wang, his collaborators and his research group that included four current and former ETOX graduate students (Jiekai Yin, Yuxiang Cui, Gwendolyn Gonzalez, and Jun Yuan) have recently uncovered a new mechanism that indicates that RNA methylation on CAG repeats plays a role in Huntington’s disease. Their work was recently published in the journal Nature.  More information on their research can be found in a UCR News article.  Our congratulations to Yinsheng, Jiekai, Yuxiang, Gwendolyn and Jun for this interesting and groundbreaking article.  [The figure above is from their Nature article.]
