Studies in mice that model Huntington’s disease suggest that prebiotics – the food that feeds our gut bacteria – might ...

As 2025 winds down, HD research is more active, more interdisciplinary, and more globally connected than ever. Whether it’s genetic modifiers, new drug targets, or next-generation clinical trials, ...

Usually, there are helper proteins, called “chaperones,” that work throughout the cell to make sure other proteins fold correctly and prevent them from clumping. However, in diseases like HD, this ...

SOM3355 is an investigational therapy aimed at managing multiple symptoms of Huntington’s disease (HD) and recently crossed two key regulatory milestones. In September, the European Medicines Agency ...

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

Scientists often use genetics, the study of DNA, to understand the cellular changes that cause disease. By comparing people’s DNA with their symptoms, they can pinpoint specific genetic differences, ...

Our bodies are experts at looking after our DNA and are continuously monitoring for any damage that needs to be repaired to keep us healthy. Parts of DNA that are very repetitive, like the sequence ...

A small study from Brazil tested whether stem cells from human dental pulp, the soft tissue inside teeth, could help people with Huntington’s disease (HD). The results hint at small improvements on ...
