HDBuzz began as an experiment in trust: that families wanted real science, explained plainly, without hype or fear. That trust has carried us to this moment. As we step forward as an independent ...
A new CRISPR-based technology, called RIDE, is a leap forward for this trail-blazing technology. With the precision of a scalpel sharp enough to rewrite the very code of life, researchers have used it ...
The SIGNAL clinical trial was designed to test a drug called pepinemab in people with early Huntington’s disease. The key results of that trial were recently announced, and unfortunately, pepinemab ...
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 ...
On May 5th, PTC Therapeutics released results from their ongoing Phase 2 PIVOT-HD clinical trial for PTC-518, now called votoplam. Excitingly, they announced that this trial met its primary endpoint – ...
We tend to think of DNA as a fixed blueprint, an overarching plan for the biological bricks and bridges that constitute our cells, organs, and bodies. But like any good plan, DNA is actually dynamic ...
Last month, we relayed positive news from uniQure’s trial testing AMT-130, a gene therapy delivered via brain surgery to lower huntingtin (HTT). Data released by uniQure in June suggested AMT-130 was ...
For those who were following the live tweets from HDBuzz about the CHDI HD Therapeutics Conference or tuned in to the HDSA Convention, we may have caught your attention with the new HD staging system.
