Researchers have developed a way to edit the genetic sequences at the root of Huntington's disease and Friedreich's ataxia. If longer than a certain threshold length, these sequences grow in length uncontrollably and lead to brain cell death in ...
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 ...
New research shows that the adult brain can generate new neurons that integrate into key motor circuits, findings that may point to a new way to treat neurogenerative ...
A new study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in eliciting damages to neurons that are most vulnerable in Huntington's disease and ...

The drug valbenazine statistically improves chorea, a movement disorder commonly associated with Huntington's disease, when compared to a ...

A lower body temperature is one of the most effective mechanisms to prolong the lifespan of animals. New research has now described precisely how this works. The scientists show that cold can prevent ...

Neuroscientists find two distinct cell populations in the striatum are affected differently by Huntington's disease. They believe neurodegeneration of one of these populations leads to motor ...

A study shows that as patients age, Huntington's disease impairs autophagy, which eliminates waste from cells. This housekeeping is significant in Huntington's because a buildup of waste in ...

A new platform takes on Huntington's disease via an innovative ...

A growing body of research suggests that the disease may also flow from defects in glia, important support cells found in the brain. The new study expands our understanding of the underlying ...

Researchers have developed a new method for studying age-related brain disorders. The researchers have focused on the neurodegenerative disorder Huntington's ...
