August was a busy month for HD research!

We’ve looked at what can be learned from disappointing clinical trials, seen new studies launch, explored novel ways of lowering huntingtin, and reported from one of the biggest conferences in the HD research circuit.

Oh, and we’re also taking pitches for the 2026 HDBuzz Prize for Young Science Writers!

Catch up on everything in our monthly roundup: https://en.hdbuzz.net/august-2026-this-month-in-huntingtons-disease-research/
