Scientists used 3D mini-brains grown from stem cells to study Huntington’s disease. They found early developmental changes ...

Participants in a PET study received the tracer, then gave it time to reach the brain. Then they laid in a scanner that took ...

Over time, the neighborhood falls into disrepair. A critical protein that MSNs need to stay alive, called DARPP-32, starts to ...

The latest instalment in a series of big studies to understand the genetics of Huntington disease (HD) just hit the shelves. These studies have focused on how small changes in the genetic letters of a ...

June was filled with exciting research! Ranging from clinical trial updates to irritability, we’ve rounded up the most exciting Huntington’s disease research from this month.

May was a month packed with exciting research, and we’ve got the highlights ready for you – no lab coat required! From genetic mysteries to vision changes and dental awareness, researchers uncovered ...

For many with Huntington’s disease, recognising faces, navigating familiar places, or reading can be difficult. Scientists studied how and when HD affects how the brain processes what we see—crucial ...

Huntington’s disease disrupts genetic "traffic lights," keeping genes green when they should be red. These genetic traffic jams may act to speed brain cell aging and faulty traffic cops fail to stop ...

Imagine the gene that causes Huntington’s disease (HD) as a vast river. At its source is the CAG repeat – a genetic letter code that dictates how the river will flow. As the river moves downstream, it ...

Huntington’s disease slows the cell’s protein factory, causing production line jams & toxicity. A faulty blueprint & missing factory assistant worsen errors. Targeting production slowdowns, not just ...
