Huntington’s Disease organoids (right) exhibit almost no neural progenitors (red) and also show defects in cellular polarity (yelllow). These defects have been described in the literature in human ...

Scientists have slowed the progression of Huntington’s disease for the first time with a “groundbreaking” new treatment. Experts from University College London (UCL) said the finding could “change ...

In a recent study, beta blockers appeared to significantly lower both the annualized risk for conversion from presymptomatic to symptomatic Huntington’s disease (HD) and the rate of worsening among ...

A research team has discovered intricate molecular mechanisms driving the RNA processing defects that lead to Huntington's disease and link HD with other neurodegenerative disorders such as ...

Expansion microscopy reveals the structure of huntingtin aggregates inside the cell nucleus. Huntington’s disease is a devastating neurogenerative disorder caused by a mutation in the HTT gene that ...

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — For the first time, scientists have successfully treated someone suffering from Huntington’s disease, a fatal genetic illness with no cure. The Mayo Clinic reports that the ...

One of the cruellest and most devastating diseases – Huntington's – has been successfully treated for the first time, say doctors. The disease runs through families, relentlessly kills brain cells and ...

Huntington’s disease (HD) is one of those rare conditions that affects not just the patient but the entire family—medically, emotionally and genetically. This inherited brain disorder causes gradual ...

People affected by Huntington’s disease could at last benefit from the first treatment to slow the fatal neurodegenerative condition. Scientists from University College London (UCL) found patients ...
