Another clue about the normal function of the huntingtin protein; a team of scientists has recently found that huntingtin seems to play an important role in repairing damaged nerve cells
COVID-19 update: what does it mean for HD families, how does it impact HD research, and how has it changed the way science works?
A collaborative team of scientists from Canada and Japan have identified a small molecule which can change the CAG-repeat length in different lab models of Huntington's disease. #HuntingtonsDisease #DrugDiscovery

Scientists screen the ENTIRE genome to find new potential therapeutic targets for HD. This ambitious study provides a wealth of data for HD researchers
Researchers show that highly expanded CAGs in the HD gene can cause early developmental changes using 3D brain models called organoids. What’d they find?
Wave Life Sciences announces that its antisense drug WVE-120102 has lowered mutant huntingtin protein in cerebrospinal fluid, but investors seem disappointed. Rather confusing – what do we know for sure?
Researchers got surprisingly lucky when looking for drug molecules to pull mutant huntingtin protein into a cellular garbage disposal machine
Exciting new Huntingtin Lowering work from @SangamoTx and @CHDIfoundation using "Zinc Fingers" to shut down expression of the mutant Huntingtin gene. More details on this exciting new technique here.
