Transplanting healthy human glial cells into HD mouse brains improved movement, memory, and survival. Even more strikingly, the glia coaxed diseased neurons to behave more like healthy ones, offering ...

Simon Says isn’t just a game, it’s a window into early HD! In this study, tiny thumb twitches reveal how attention slips ...

Scientists used 3D mini-brains grown from stem cells to study Huntington’s disease. They found early developmental changes linked to mitochondrial stress, suggesting that energy imbalance may play a ...

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

Picture a quiet neighborhood. Things used to run smoothly here. Kids played outside, front yards were mowed, and the neurons — the longtime residents — looked out for one another. But lately, fires ...

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 ...

Genetic mutations occur everyday in our cells, but the vast majority of them are repaired. New research finds DNA repair is not on PAR in HD cells, causing mutations to build up in people with HD.

Leora Fox trained as a Huntington’s Disease scientist, and obtained her PhD in 2016 at Columbia University, where she studied HD mouse models and how brain cells dispose of huntingtin protein. After ...

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 ...
