October was an insight-rich month in Huntington’s disease research: additional clarity around uniQure’s AMT-130, mapping how and where HD changes the brain, early mechanistic studies targeting DNA repair, and a major meeting gathering the field.

Why do some brain cells die first in HD? New study shows changes in gene activity begin at birth in mice, especially in striatum & cortex—mapped with spatial & single-cell tools.

We’re 4 weeks out from uniQure’s positive update about AMT-130 that took the world by storm. Does the data match the media hype? Where do uncertainties remain? And what are some of the key questions from the Huntington’s disease community?
