By setting up both reactions side by side in a test tube, the team revealed a literal tug-of-war between two DNA-repair pathways acting on the same HTT repeat. Which side wins likely determines ...
UniQure received FDA’s meeting minutes on AMT-130. While there were no new updates, the community’s response has been ...
Studies in mice that model Huntington’s disease suggest that prebiotics – the food that feeds our gut bacteria – might ...
As 2025 winds down, HD research is more active, more interdisciplinary, and more globally connected than ever. Whether it’s genetic modifiers, new drug targets, or next-generation clinical trials, ...
A small study from Brazil tested whether stem cells from human dental pulp, the soft tissue inside teeth, could help people with Huntington’s disease (HD). The results hint at small improvements on ...
Why do some people with intermediate CAG repeats, a genetic “gray zone” in Huntington’s disease, develop neurological symptoms while others do not? This article covers a recent study that tackled this ...
The past 4 weeks have been a whirlwind in the Huntington’s disease (HD) community. On September 25th we had an update from uniQure about a drug they’re testing for HD in ongoing clinical trials. The ...
This month, HDBuzz is attending the first Huntington’s Disease (HD) Clinical Research Congress in Nashville, Tennessee. Gathered at this meeting are hundreds of scientists, doctors, and industry ...
UniQure has announced positive top-line results from its Phase I/II trial of AMT-130, a one-time gene therapy being tested in people with Huntington’s disease (HD). Topline data is a summary of the ...
Every cell in our body is constantly fixing DNA damage that happens throughout our lifetime. Like a city sending out crews to mend roads and power lines, our cells rely on specialized proteins to keep ...
Pridopidine has been under investigation as a treatment for Huntington’s disease (HD) since the early 2000s. The most recent Phase 3 trial testing to see if pridopidine might improve signs and ...
We’ve been following the development of uniQure’s HTT-lowering drug, AMT-130, from its genesis in the lab, to animal studies just a few years ago, and now through to their ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical ...
