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 ...

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

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 ...

Proposed Huntington's disease 'biomarker' is not useful, new study suggests New study shows a blood chemical called '8OHdG' is not a good biomarker for HD. Bad news? April 25, 2013 ...

A multiple sclerosis drug that works for Huntington's disease: the real deal or too good to be true? Fingolimod, a drug used in multiple sclerosis, prevents memory problems in HD mice. Would it work ...

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.

Scientists tested a new tool to measure harmful HTT protein in HD. It wasn’t perfect, but offered key insights to guide better tools already in the works. A big step toward tracking HD non-invasively, ...

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 ...
