- Mouse brain can cure itself of HD, found Columbia University researchers Ai Yamamoto, Jose Lucas and RenÚ Hen
- Dr. Robert Friedlander and his group found that minocycline indeed blocked the production of two different caspases, caspase-1 and caspase-3. It also interfered with production of another substance, inducible nitric oxide synthase or iNOS, which also seems to be among the culprits in Huntington's.
- Dr. Leslie Thompson, University California Irvine, has come up with some provocative insights about possible interactions between the HD gene and the famous cancer-suppressing p53 gene
- Researchers at Oxford University in England have shown that a "stimulating, enriched environment may also help slow down the onset of Huntington's disease!"
