Simon Says isn’t just a game, it’s a window into early HD! In this study, tiny thumb twitches reveal how attention slips ...

Participants in a PET study received the tracer, then gave it time to reach the brain. Then they laid in a scanner that took ...

Scientists used 3D mini-brains grown from stem cells to study Huntington’s disease. They found early developmental changes ...

Researchers have updated the system that classifies Huntington’s disease progression. Tracking progression in 4 stages will make clinical trial screening and data interpretation easier and faster, and ...

As we wave goodbye to 2024, the HDBuzz team reflects on a year marked by significant progress, challenges, and hope. From breakthroughs at the lab bench, advancements in drug development, and both ...

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 ...

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 ...

Huntington's disease research news. In plain language. Written by scientists. For the global HD community.

Roche gave an update this week about GENERATION HD2, testing the HTT-lowering drug tominersen in people with HD. The trial is continuing, but only the higher dose will move forward. What does this ...

Imagine the gene that causes Huntington’s disease (HD) as a vast river. At its source is the CAG repeat – a genetic letter code that dictates how the river will flow. As the river moves downstream, it ...

Hello from Palm Springs! The HDBuzz team are here and ready to report on all of the exciting science that we are going to hear over the next 3 days from HD experts who have travelled from all over the ...
