Petersén Å, Castilho RF, Hansson O, Wieloch T and Brundin P.Brain Research 857: 20-29 (2000)AbstractDisruption of intracellular calcium homeostasis is thought to play a role in neurodegenerative disorders such as Huntington's disease (HD). To study different aspects of putative pathogenic mechanisms in HD, we aimed to establish an in vitro model of calcium-induced toxicity in striatal neurons. The
