A recent paper links CAG repeat expansion with widespread RNA changes, especially in brain cells vulnerable to HD. “Knocking out” certain DNA repair genes that go awry in HD can have positive effects on features of HD in mice.
New research suggests the adult brain can be convinced to grow new neurons to replace those lost in Huntington’s disease. The SUPER exciting part? These cells don’t just grow—they seem to connect and function, like puzzle pieces clicking into place.
New research shines a light on an often-overlooked side of Huntington’s disease—psychosis. Understanding the impact of psychosis on daily life and progression of other HD symptoms could be key to providing better care and support.
Recent research suggests a connection between antidepressant use and increased cognitive decline in people with dementia. How should these findings be interpreted for people with Huntington’s disease?

With so much science going on in the Huntington’s disease space, we’re bringing you a monthly recap from March 2025 to cover all the biggest HD science news and research we covered this month. Enjoy!
A new CRISPR-based technology, called RIDE, is a leap forward for this trail-blazing technology. With the precision of a scalpel sharp enough to rewrite the very code of life, researchers have used it with the hope of treating Huntington’s disease.
In honor of #HDGratitudeDay, happening today, March 23, 2025, HDBuzz interviewed Dr. Ignacio Muñoz-Sanjuán, President and Founder of Factor-H—a nonprofit dedicated to supporting Huntington’s disease families in Latin America.
This #HDGratitudeDay, we’re going beyond science & getting to the heart of what drives this community—the people. Learn how Factor-H is bringing hope & humanity to the most vulnerable within the HD community, and join us in amplifying their message.
