SOM3355 is still an investigational drug, and only a Phase 3 trial can determine whether it is safe and effective enough to seek approval. But the combined momentum from the EMA and FDA reflects a ...
Scientists discover a rare genetic quirk that may extend the age of onset in people with Huntington’s disease by boosting ...
To better understand how the MutSβ complex can make the DNA zipper worse, the authors used a technique called cryo-electron ...
The new twist in this latest study from Brazil is where the stem cells come from. Researchers used human dental pulp stem cells, collected from the soft tissue inside teeth, to create an experimental ...
Huntington’s disease (HD) develops when people have a repetition of the genetic letters C-A-G in their huntingtin gene. People with 40 or more repeats will develop the disease during their lifetime, ...
A BLA, or Biologics Licensing Application, is the formal dossier of information that a company uses to request permission to market a biologic, which is a therapy created from living organisms, like ...
This month brought new revelations across biomarkers, basic science and community gathering. In particular, we saw how DNA-repair targeting strategies are moving into focus, how gaps in diagnosis are ...
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 ...
A team of scientists have discovered small molecules that block the DNA repair protein MSH3, thought to be a key driver of repeat expansion in Huntington’s disease (HD). Although still at an early ...
