Is it possible to restore brain cells? It may look that way. Dr. Abdellatif Benrais, a 2020 Hereditary Disease Foundation grant recipient from the lab of Dr. Steve Goldman, and colleagues build on previous work that showed adding biological molecules to the brains of mice that model Huntington's disease can restore brain cells. In their new work, they show the newly formed neurons in these HD mice integrate with existing cellular networks within the brain and contribute to the improvement of movement behavior. This work may help us better understand how the brain can create new neurons, potentially offering a regenerative therapeutic strategy to replace brain cells that are lost in HD. This is another exciting step in research! https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(25)00211-6 #HuntingtonsDisease #huntingtonsdiseaseresearch #HDresearch #curehd #huntingtonawareness #cureforhuntingtons #research #cures #community #discovery #hope #collaboration #curehd Ryan Van Dyke Champions for HD Huntington's Disease Foundation Huntington's Australia HDYO (Huntington's Disease Youth Organisation) Huntington's Disease Foundation Huntington Society of Canada Help 4 HD International Hereditary Disease Awareness Philly Cure HD (Huntington's Disease) Erin Paterson NJ Cure HD American Brain Coalition Factor-H Jimmy Pollard HDBuzz Huntington's Disease Association Northern Ireland National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
