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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

TRACK-HD reveals significant changes in pre-symptomatic HD mutation carriers and patients The one-year report from the TRACK-HD study demonstrates a number of changes in pre-symptomatic HD-mutation ...

Minocycline: the end of the road? DOMINO clinical trial result: minocycline doesn’t slow down HD and shouldn’t be studied in larger trials.

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 ...
