Novel molecule restores lost connections in spinal cords and brains of mice

Link

Researchers have developed a molecule that can restore lost connections in the spinal cords and brains of mice with cerebellar ataxia, Alzheimer’s disease and spinal cord injury.

Researchers have demonstrated that a molecule they created can restore lost connections in the spinal cords and brains of mice with neurological disorders including cerebellar ataxia, Alzheimer’s disease and spinal cord injury.

The research involved scientists in the UK Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (MRC LMB) and collaborators from Japan and Germany.
