New research suggests that cognitive engagement - keeping your brain busy with activities like reading, puzzles, or learning new skills - could help protect the brain, possibly slowing progression of symptoms of Huntington’s disease.
Like a movie editor removing bloopers, our cells also edit their protein machines to make films worth watching. New research finds the cell’s movie editor is distracted in Huntington’s disease.
Using CRISPR technology, scientists uncovered genes that control C-A-G genetic stumbles in Huntington's disease
HDYO released data from recent surveys of the global HD community. Learn more about the findings and how surveys can help shape the future of HD care and support.
The HDBuzz team caught up with editor emeritus and Huntington's disease specialist, Prof Ed Wild to hear his thoughts on what 2025 has in store for the Huntington's disease community
A highly-anticipated scientific paper has landed! This new work challenges current theories in Huntington’s disease research, uncovering how runaway CAG repeats erode cell identity in certain types of brain cells, leading to their death.
Researchers have detected early changes in brain scans and biomarkers in young people with the Huntington’s disease gene, 20 years before symptoms are predicted to appear. These findings could help develop medicines to treat HD earlier in life.
A well-studied, widely used class of drugs for heart health may have benefits for Huntington’s disease. A new paper associated beta-blocker use with delayed onset and slower disease progression. Should you ask your doctor for a new prescription?
Cell replacement therapy is making massive strides for other diseases. But what about Huntington’s disease? Can we use technological advancements in this area to replace lost brain cells with the hope of repairing and reversing disease?
