Scientists are unraveling the mystery of what triggers Huntington’s disease, a devastating and fatal hereditary disorder that strikes in the prime of life, causing nerve cells in parts of the brain to break down and die. The genetic mutation linked to …

(MENAFN- PR Newswire) Atalanta Therapeutics is pioneering RNA interference (RNAi) for the treatment of neurological diseases, having developed a proprietary platform that, for the first time enables RNAi to be deployed as a therapeutic approach throughout …

Katy Perry thrilled the crowd at the 2025 Invictus Games in Vancouver, Canada as she performed at the opening ceremony on Saturday. The pop star, 40, showed support to her Montecito neighbors, Prince Harry, 40 — who founded the event in 2014 — and his wife …

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 specific strings of genetic code-in this case, a series …

Researchers have made a major breakthrough in our understanding of Huntington's disease. This genetic disorder has long been known to be caused by mutations in the huntingtin gene, which leads to the death of brain cells and neurodegeneration. The …

A cure for Huntington’s disease may be a step closer after a study found brain changes linked to the condition could be detected 23 years before a diagnosis. Symptoms of the inherited disease typically emerge in midlife between the ages of 30 and 50. …

It may sound grim, but the federal government wants to know your thoughts on advance requests for medically assisted death. A new Health Canada questionnaire is asking residents for their views on being able to ask for their end-of-life ahead of time. The …
