Scientists aim to stop harmful gut bacteria triggering Alzheimer’s
Australian scientists are exploring how harmful gut bacteria from a poor diet can access the brain and trigger early onset Alzheimer’s disease.
Gene Therapy Approach Shows Promise in Treating ALS
Researchers report that a gene therapy approach, developed at UC San Diego measurably delayed disease onset in humanized mouse and rat models of familial ALS, an inherited form of the disease that runs in families.
First atomic-level imaging of lethal prions provide sharpened focus for potential treatments
The highest-ever resolution imaging of an infectious prion provides the first atomic-level data of how these abnormal proteins are assembled to cause fatal neurodegenerative diseases in people and animals—and how they can be potentially targeted by new therapies.
New study provides insights into architecture of abnormal protein deposits in brain disorders
Scientists at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have determined the structure of protein “fibrils” linked to Lou Gehrig’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders—findings that provide clues to how toxic proteins clump and spread between nerve cells in the brain.
