Huntington's Disease Breakthrough: New Research Offers Promise of Medical Intervention
June 2, 2011 — Medical researchers may have uncovered a novel approach to treat an incurable and ultimately fatal neurodegenerative disease that affects hundreds of thousands of people. Two international studies ... > full story -
Two Gene Classes Linked to New Prion Formation
May 26, 2011 — Researchers have discovered two classes of yeast genes that may hold clues as to why proteins take on the misfolded prion form, a condition associated with several neurodegenerative diseases, such as ... > full story -

Neutrons Provide First Sub-Nanoscale Snapshots of Huntington's Disease Protein
May 18, 2011 — Scientists have for the first time successfully characterized the earliest structural formation of the disease type of the protein that causes Huntington's disease. The researchers have used a ... > full story -
Novel Mouse Model Provides Insight Into Rare Neurodegenerative Disease
May 11, 2011 — New research sheds light on common pathogenic mechanisms shared by Huntington's disease (HD) and HD-like disorders. The study uses a new transgenic mouse model for an HD-like disorder to unravel ... > full story -
Biologists Find Another Clue to the Origins of Degenerative Diseases
April 11, 2011 — A research team shows that cell death can also result from the process by which the cell repairs damage that occurs within a repeated CAG/CTG sequence. Their findings increase understanding of how ... > full story -
