Scientists tested a new tool to measure harmful HTT protein in HD. It wasn’t perfect, but offered key insights to guide better tools already in the works. A big step toward tracking HD non-invasively, from inside the brain!

June was filled with exciting research! Ranging from clinical trial updates to irritability, we've rounded up the most exciting Huntington's disease research from this month.

In HD, a key brain protector, PKD1, is missing. Without this “molecular firefighter,” neurons are vulnerable. Knowing why it disappears may help us uncover how the brain’s defense break down, and how to reinforce it.
