Replacing What Is Lost: Regrowing Damaged Brain Cells for Huntington’s Disease

HDBuzz (English)

It’s exciting to think about the treatments currently in trials that aim to halt or slow Huntington’s disease. But can we dream big and start thinking beyond that now? Could we one day not only stop Huntington’s disease but actually repair the damage it causes by growing and replacing the brain cells that have been lost?

Can we replace what is lost?

When we think about finding a cure for Huntington’s disease (HD), the first idea that often comes to mind is stopping or correcting the CAG expansion in the huntingtin (HTT) gene—the genetic mutation that we know causes this devastating condition.

Over the decades, we’ve learned a lot about the genetic root of HD, but this raises an important question: Even if we could fix the gene, what about the nerve cells in the brain already lost and the damage caused by the disease’s progression?

Replacing brain cells that have been lost offers an exciting possibility to restore lost brain function and, perhaps, reverse the devastating effects of the condition. By harnessing advancements in cell replacement, researchers are opening new doors for potential treatments.

Spoločnosť pre pomoc pri Huntingtonovej chorobe

Chcel by som Vám predstaviť veľmi zaujímavý nápad, ktorý mala Sarah Jane z Anglicka. Je to iniciatíva ako sa pokúsiť obnoviť spoločenský a sociálny život ľudí s Huntingtonovou chorobou v pokročilejšom štádiu. Ako ochorenie postupuje, človek “stráca” pôvodných priateľov. Stáva sa osamelejším a môže si pripadať opustený. Priateľov veľmi bolí vidieť dobrého priateľa v stave …

Zeldzameziektendag

Nieuws - Vereniging van Huntington

Iedere laatste dag van februari is het Rare Disease Day, oftewel Zeldzameziektendag. Wereldwijd wordt stilgestaan bij de bijzondere manier waarop patiënten, naasten, zorgverleners en onderzoekers zich inzetten voor zeldzame aandoeningen.

Op 28 februari 2025 geeft de VSOP (de patiëntenkoepel voor zeldzame en genetische aandoeningen) tijdens het Nationaal Event Zeldzameziektendag speciaal aandacht aan het belang van internationale samenwerking, vooral als het zeer zeldzame (ultra-zeldzame) aandoeningen betreft. Hoogtepunt van de avond is de jaarlijkse uitreiking van de Zeldzame Engel Awards.

U bent dan van harte welkom in de Orangerie van Paleis Soestdijk (onder voorbehoud zaalcapaciteit). De zaal is open vanaf 17.00 uur en vervolgens is er om 18.00 uur volop gelegenheid voor informeel contact tijdens het buffet (tegen een bijdrage in de kosten).
