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 ...

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 ...

Time-restricted eating (TRE) is a form of intermittent fasting. Instead of focusing on how much you eat, TRE focuses on when you eat. A typical schedule might allow meals only between 12 PM and 8 PM ...

July’s HD research roundup: Brain scans, gene editing, glial cells, and even smartphones reveal new ways to track and treat Huntington’s. From sleep to cell power, science is zooming in and bringing ...

Sleep is more than a nightly recharge, it is fundamental to brain health. A landmark 12-year study tracking people with the gene for Huntington’s disease (HD) suggests how specific sleep disturbances ...

New research maps Huntington’s disease progression like a symphony unraveling. The brain first overcommunicates, then loses sync, and finally falls silent, each stage driven by different biological ...

A recent study used miniature 3D brain models grown from stem cells to explore how the genetic change that causes Huntington’s disease (HD) might impact early brain development, before neurons even ...

A recent publication discusses a non-invasive way of measuring levels of expanded HTT protein in the brain, using an imaging tool called a PET tracer. The results were variable, but there’s still a ...

May was a month packed with exciting research, and we’ve got the highlights ready for you – no lab coat required! From genetic mysteries to vision changes and dental awareness, researchers uncovered ...

Huntington’s disease disrupts genetic "traffic lights," keeping genes green when they should be red. These genetic traffic jams may act to speed brain cell aging and faulty traffic cops fail to stop ...

On May 5th, PTC Therapeutics released results from their ongoing Phase 2 PIVOT-HD clinical trial for PTC-518, now called votoplam. Excitingly, they announced that this trial met its primary endpoint – ...

We all know heart health matters – but what if the same habits that keep your heart strong could also protect your brain? A new study reveals a link between cardiovascular health and lower levels of ...
