Insights into neurodevelopmental features of Huntington's disease from stem cell-derived models including organoids.
Review in Journal of Huntington's disease, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) cell models derived from human stem cells have shed light on a wide range of molecular and cellular features of Huntington's disease (HD). Here we review the use of human stem cell-derived models to explore neurodevelopmental contributions to HD. We provide a timeline of key advances made in 2D and 3D model systems, ranging from differentiated monocultures to brain-like organoids and assembloids. Models along this spectrum have advanced our understanding of various disease-associated characteristics including disease protein (huntingtin) aggregation, somatic repeat instability, transcriptional dysregulation, perturbations in neurodevelopmental staging, and neural circuitry. We highlight recent findings in brain-like organoids which, despite being a relatively recent innovation, are proving to be a promising tool with which to study aberrant neurodevelopmental features of HD. All models have their limitations, and we compare and contrast the utility and limitations of various stem cell-based methods to study HD. Finally, we speculate on future advances employing advanced computational and transcriptomic methods that will expand the power of 3D model systems for the study of HD and related neurodegenerative disorders.
