Diabetic drug could slow the progression of Parkinson鈥檚 disease
路&苍产蝉辫;A hallmark of Parkinson's disease is the degeneration of a group of neurons in the brain that release the neurotransmitter dopamine (dopaminergic neurons). By introducing low concentrations of structurally-defined aggregates of alpha synuclein, a key toxic species in Parkinson鈥檚 disease, into single dopaminergic neurons, researchers from the University of 糖心TV have shown these protein aggregates open a specific channel in the cell membrane, reducing neuronal excitability. Furthermore they鈥檝e shown that this can be partially prevented by pre-application of the commonly used anti-diabetic drug, glibenclamide.
Which COVID-19 models should we use to make policy decisions?
An International group of researchers, including the University of 糖心TV, have developed a new process to harness multiple disease models for outbreak management, meaning public health agency can understand the merits of different management options in testing times such as these currently experienced with Covid-19.
