Representing a breakthrough in better understanding how tau proteins cause neurodegenerative disease, scientists have mapped the tau interactome.
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and the University of Oxford will collaborate to investigate diseases using technologies such as functional genomics and machine learning.
The small molecule successfully targeted the C9orf72 gene that causes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
Researchers at the University of East Finland have been using skin cells to investigate pathological hallmarks in frontotemporal dementia patients.
In this article, Dr Jim Burns discusses promising pre-clinical results of how a new platform could treat the root cause of many devastating genetic diseases including myotonic dystrophy type 1.
According to researchers, the more small tau protein variants expressed by neurons, the slower neurofibrillary tangles form.
New findings on dementia reveal that brain atrophy spreads via connected brain networks, rather than simply adjacent areas of the brain.
