New findings shed light on this mystery ... despite the presence of the mutation from birth. Huntington’s disease causes the ...

"With these findings, we propose that ERK1 may protect neurons in the face of Huntington's disease, while GSK3β ... little can disrupt the motors and cause traffic blocks by different mechanisms.

Huntington's disease (HD) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder ... a consortium of academic clinicians and researchers interested in finding the cause of neurodegeneration in HD and designing ...

Huntington's disease is a genetic disorder that kills nerve cells in the brain, causing people to lose their cognitive and ...

Genetic mutations occur everyday in our cells, but the vast majority of them are repaired. New research finds DNA repair is not on PAR in HD cells, causing mutations to build up in people with HD.

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 ...

The Huntington’s Disease Society of America (HDSA) is proud to mark 33 years of Huntington's Disease (HD) Awareness Month, a nationwide initiative dedicated to educating the public and empowering fami ...

Amy is adopted and has no contact with her biological parents, which has made it harder for her to trace the origins of her ...

The Huntington’s Disease Society of America hosted Rochester’s first Team Hope Walk on Saturday morning at Roberts Wesleyan ...

Researchers found that inhibiting GSK-3 led to less defects in the axonal transport process and less neuronal cell death, while inhibiting ERK1 led to more transport problems and more cell death.

“With these findings, we propose that ERK1 may protect neurons in the face of Huntington’s disease, while GSK3ß may exacerbate ... and that too much GSK-3ß or too little can disrupt the motors and ...
