Nov. 13, 2024 — The Huntington's disease (HD) mutation eventually causes a fatal brain disease in adulthood, but a new study finds that early in life, ...

Less than a month after researchers unveiled that a “ticking DNA clock” is behind Huntington’s disease (HD), scientists have now identified an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) that can ...

In a group of people with genetically confirmed, premanifest Huntington's disease, the annualized hazard of receiving a motor diagnosis was significantly lower for beta-block users than matched ...

A new discovery offers hope for Huntington’s disease. This discovery provides hope that a DNA repair process may help slow or stop disease progression.

MONDAY, Nov. 4, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- Huntington's disease is a devastating, fatal neurological illness with little means of treatment, but a new study in mice offers a glimmer of hope.

Inhibiting GSK3ß in fruit fly larvae with Huntington’s disease decreased their axonal blockages and neuronal cell death. The fruit flies were even able to crawl better. In a previous study, they found ...

Huntington’s disease poses a threat to the brain—the core governing system of sensation, intellectual ability, nerve-related tasks, emotions, cognitive skills, physical mobility, and so on.

Professor Sarah Tabrizi, director of the Huntington’s Disease Centre in London and a consultant at UCLH, said: “We are very excited about this trial as the drug, ALNHTT02, ...

Huntington’s Disease: ‘There’s been so much progress in terms of scientific research – we’ve been bringing it out of the shadows’ Today is Huntington’s Disease awareness day.

Researchers have made a major breakthrough in our understanding of Huntington's disease. This genetic disorder has long been known to be caused by mutations in the huntingtin gene, which leads to the ...
