July’s HD research roundup: Brain scans, gene editing, glial cells, and even smartphones reveal new ways to track and treat Huntington’s. From sleep to cell power, science is zooming in and bringing ...

A 12-year study reveals how disrupted sleep may predict Huntington’s disease onset, could link to changes in thinking and ...

Pridopidine (previously called huntexil) is an experimental oral drug being developed primarily for Huntington’s disease (HD), and now also for ALS. It was originally thought to act by influencing ...

New research maps Huntington’s disease progression like a symphony unraveling. The brain first overcommunicates, then loses sync, and finally falls silent, each stage driven by different biological ...

The Huntington’s disease mutation worsens over time like a dangerous snowball. By harnessing the power of the gene editing tool CRISPR, scientists may have found a way to interrupt the HD mutation and ...

This is a bit like a detective catching a villain earlier in a mystery, before they cause more havoc. The HDDMS gives doctors and researchers a sharper magnifying glass to track the disease’s subtle ...

A recent publication discusses a non-invasive way of measuring levels of expanded HTT protein in the brain, using an imaging tool called a PET tracer. The results were variable, but there’s still a ...

A recent study used miniature 3D brain models grown from stem cells to explore how the genetic change that causes Huntington’s disease (HD) might impact early brain development, before neurons even ...

New research is challenging how we think about treating brain diseases, like Huntington’s disease (HD). A study from the lab of Dr. Steven Goldman shows that transplanting healthy early-stage support ...

Do you remember playing “Simon Says” as a child? It was fun, silly, and surprisingly tricky. You had to listen carefully and only act when you heard “Simon says”. If you moved at the wrong time, you ...
