Cell death discovery could lead to next-gen drugs for neurodegenerative conditions

Researchers have discovered how to block cells dying, in a finding that could lead to new treatments for neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

The team at WEHI in Melbourne, Australia, have identified a small molecule that can selectively block cell death.

Published in Science Advances, the findings lay the groundwork for next-generation neuroprotective drugs for degenerative conditions, which currently have no cure or treatments to stop their progression.

At a…
