Recently published Huntington's Disease Market Insights report includes a comprehensive understanding of current treatment practices, Huntington's disease emerging drugs, market share of individual ...

General Hospital just introduced the possibility that the medication Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) has been taking to treat her Huntington’s disease was a placebo all along, a twist that raises a tantalizing ...

Elaine’s stories explore the boom in new obesity treatments, new drug payment models, the ways companies are affected by FDA changes, and the emerging psychedelics drug sector. She co-writes The ...

UniQure said it plans to seek approval for its experimental gene therapy for Huntington's disease. The announcement comes months after UniQure became embroiled in a public debate with FDA leaders over ...

Her decades of work on Huntington’s disease helped lead to the creation of a genetic test for the devastating condition. Why didn’t she take it herself? Her decades of work on Huntington’s disease ...

Researchers identified the immune cGAS-STING pathway as a key contributor to harmful inflammation. Using a humanized mouse model of Huntington disease, they found that blocking this pathway – either ...

Huntington’s disease is tragically predictable. An inherited genetic mutation causes neurons to make distorted, sticky proteins. These proteins clump together and gradually overwhelm brain cells. The ...

Huntington’s disease (HD) is an inherited brain condition that causes nerve cells in the brain to gradually break down and die, causing involuntary movements called chorea, dementia, and mood changes.

New research reveals how tiny ‘tunnels’ allow mutant huntingtin protein to spread between neurons, changing our understanding of Huntington’s disease progression and offering a promising therapeutic ...

More than 90 percent of people with the genetic condition Huntington’s disease develop chorea — involuntary movements that can interfere with daily activities, communication, and independence. While ...

Huntington’s disease is a brain condition caused by a gene mutation. It typically develops between 30 and 50 years of age and causes movement issues such as chorea (involuntary dance-like movements), ...
