Study reports it may be possible to detect the onset and progression of Huntington's disease through linguistic changes in patients. Linguistic impairments often begin before the onset of other Huntington's symptoms. Read More
Combining artificial intelligence technology and blood samples, researchers were able to predict and explain the progression of Alzheimer's and Huntington's disease. The new algorithm was able to detect alterations in gene expression over decades from patients' blood samples. Read More
Using induced pluripotent stem cells derived from patients with neurodegenerative disorders, researcher recreated the blood-brain barrier inside Organ-Chips. Read More
Genetic mutations which lead to abnormal RNA in regions of repeat DNA sequences set off anti-viral like inflammatory responses. This leads to apoptosis and ultimately trigger the onset of neurodegenerative diseases. Read More
Disrupted sleep patterns may help to protect neurons in the brain in Huntington's disease. Read More
Researchers have developed a method to determine the length of mutated genes associated with Huntington's disease quickly and easily. Read More
Researchers report activating microglia may help reduce the imbalance between neuroprotection and neurotoxicity for neurodegenerative diseases. Read More
Researchers say the Huntingtin gene affects brain development from an early age, even though most patients do not develop Huntington's disease until later life. Read More
Researchers have identified a mechanism that may reduce the toxic aggregation of the huntingtin protein. The findings could lead to new treatment options for Huntington's patients. Read More
Researchers have identified a reduced exchange of glutamine between astrocytes and neurons in a new Huntington's disease study. Read More
Researchers shed light on what happens to specific neurons when neurodegenerative diseases impact movement. The findings could help in the development of new treatments for Parkinson's and Huntington's disease. Read More
Researchers have identified a genetic overlap between rheumatoid arthritis and Huntington's disease. The findings could open the door to developing new therapeutic targets and medications to combat both conditions. Read More
