Huntington's disease (HD) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder ... This gene produces a protein known as huntingtin, whose function remains unclear. The mutation that causes HD consists of an ...

Huntington’s disease causes the gradual breakdown of nerve cells, leading to a range of symptoms that worsen over time. These ...

UCLA Health researchers say study findings uncover Huntington's disease mechanisms and pave new ways to develop treatments.

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 disorders.

People genetically susceptible to Huntington's disease often see their movement, mood, and cognition decline slowly over time. The cause is related to expansion of repeating DNA units, in which ...

New research shows that the adult brain can generate new neurons that integrate into key motor circuits. The findings demonstrate that stimulating natural brain processes may help repair damaged ...

New research suggests the adult brain can be convinced to grow new neurons to replace those lost in Huntington’s disease. The ...
