When DNA Repair Goes Off Script: How a Small Change in FAN1 Can Accelerate Huntington’s Disease
Two studies show how a small change in FAN1, a DNA repair protein, can speed up HD. The alteration disrupts FAN1’s DNA grip, driving repeat expansions and earlier symptoms.

Cracking the Protein Puzzle in HD: New Blueprints Offer Hope for Stopping Damage Early
Scientists have imaged the toxic clumps and fibres made by expanded huntingtin with cutting-edge microscopes, helping us to understand the exact way they can be assembled and how their structure could be altered for potential therapeutic gain.

City Under the Microscope: How Two Proteins Could Help Track Huntington’s Disease
In Huntington’s disease research, biomarkers are the secret weapon for spotting treatment effects. A new blood study uncovers two proteins, CAP1 and CAPZB, that, with additional work, could help track the disease before symptoms begin.

The Gut–Brain Superhighway in Huntington’s Disease: Clues From the Microbes Inside Us
The gut and brain are connected by a busy two-way superhighway. In Huntington’s disease, traffic on this road may be jammed, detoured, or carrying harmful cargo, linking gut microbes, inflammation, and brain health in surprising ways.

Carried from Childhood: Childhood Experiences and Adult Mental Health in Families with Huntington’s Disease
Some childhood experiences stay with us, quietly shaping how we feel as adults. For those raised in families with Huntington’s disease, this new study helps make sense of those feelings, and reminds us that healing is possible.

Body in Decline: Muscle Loss as an Early Symptom of Huntington’s Disease
Huntington’s disease doesn’t just damage the brain, it also breaks down muscles and fat, and disrupts nutrition early on. New work suggests there’s a hidden physical decline in early HD, so monitoring body changes could help with better care.
