UW researchers co-published findings March 18 that inform a new approach to targeting the huntingtin gene, specifically targeting a fragment of the protein rather than a whole protein. Everyone has ...

“It’s tough to watch everybody get sick,” she adds. “You live in constant worry.” ...

A decade ago, UB researchers shed some light on an enduring neuroscience mystery: How exactly does a mutated huntingtin protein (HTT) cause Huntington’s disease? They found that HTT is something like ...

Approximately 41,000 Americans live with a rare, genetic, degenerative disorder that is described as a combination of ALS, ...

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — For the first time, scientists have successfully treated someone suffering from Huntington’s disease, a fatal genetic illness with no cure. Assault at Mobile McDonald’s leaves man ...

In the complex world of neuroscience, Huntington's disease remains a cruel mystery. It slowly strips away a person’s ability to think and move, yet scientists still don't fully understand why.

An experimental gene therapy has become the first treatment to successfully slow the progression of Huntington’s disease. While the findings are still preliminary, the approach could be a major ...

9 min read |New research in a HD mouse model points to a key culprit: a small fragment called HTT1a. Lowering HTT1a levels successfully delayed disease signs in mice that model HD, perhaps shaping the ...
