New research with transgenic mice reveals that a therapy directed at the muscle significantly improves disease symptoms of a genetic disorder characterized by destruction of the neurons that control movement. The study, published by Cell Press in the August 13th issue of the journal Neuron, highlights a promising new treatment for this currently incurable and nontreatable neurodegenerative disorder. http://www.physorg.com/news169299168.html Medicine & Health Wed, 12 Aug 2009 13:00:01 EST news169299168 A new study has identified a potential strategy for removing the abnormal protein that causes Huntington's disease (HD) from brain cells, which could slow the progression of the devastating neurological disorder. In the April 3 issue of Cell, a team of researchers from the MassGeneral Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease (MGH-MIND) describes how an alteration to the mutated form of the huntingtin protein appears to accelerate its breakdown and removal through normal cellular processes. http://www.physorg.com/news157895508.html Medicine & Health Thu, 02 Apr 2009 12:52:15 EST news157895508 (PhysOrg.com) -- To find its target, all a protein needs to do is give quick squeezes as it moves along the DNA strand, suggests new research from The University of Arizona in Tucson. http://www.physorg.com/news148662760.html Biology Tue, 16 Dec 2008 15:12:40 EST news148662760
