MIT Research Holds Promise For Huntington's Treatment; Could Also Have Impact On Parkinson's Disease
March 8, 2006 — Researchers at MIT and Harvard Medical School have identified a compound that interferes with the pathogenic effects of Huntington's disease, a discovery that could lead to development of a new ... > full story -
A Clue To Core Problem Of Neurodegenerative Disease And Cell Death
February 10, 2006 — Misfolded and damaged proteins are common to all human neurodegenerative diseases, but explanations for the mechanism that kills neurons have varied widely. Northwestern University scientists now ... > full story -
Zebrafish And CHIP Help Untangle Protein Misfolding In Brain Disease
October 31, 2005 — Protein handling is especially important for neurons because damage or death of brain cells causes neurological disease. University of Iowa researchers have identified a protein, called CHIP ... > full story -
Protein Aggregates In Lou Gehrig's Disease Linked To Neuron Death
October 27, 2005 — Little is known about the cause of ALS. What is known is that misfolded and damaged proteins clump together in cells to form aggregates and motor neurons die. Scientists have long debated whether or ... > full story -
Discovery Of Why Some DNA Repair Fails: Significant For Huntington's Disease And Colon Cancer
October 10, 2005 — Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered the inner workings of a defective DNA repair process and are first to explain why certain mutations are not corrected in cells. The finding is important ... > full story -
