Stem of Hope: Stem Cell Research Acquires a Brittle Star As A model
...the way for further understanding and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. The fact that the brittle star resembles vertebrates, makes it a better choice for a model for such studies, especially with vast regeneration potential, similar to the Hydra. ...Transplantation Results in CJD Transfer
...reutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disease. The disease is characterized by a rapidly progressive dementia associated, myoclonus and a characteristic electroencephalographic pattern. // Although CJD appears to occur as a predominantly sporadic disorder it can also occur as a dominant...Progression Of ALS May Be Prevented By A High Caloric Diet
...cording to foodconsumer.org, ALS is an adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder in which spinal and cortical motor neurons die causing relentlessly progressive weakness and wasting of skeletal muscles through the body. "ALS is such a devastating disease for those individuals diagnosed with the disorder," said Giulio M...Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease.

... These findings suggest that genetic therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, some of which are largely limited to treatment focused on a single gene, will require more extensive knowledge of molecular pathways and gene interactions to be successful.

... are affected. Earlier studies had linked specific neurodegenerative diseases to mutations in proteins involved in intracellular transport. This led researchers to wonder if the deranged polyQ proteins inhibit fast axonal transport in several diseases, including SBMA, in which a mutation in the receptor for testostero...Gene Mutation May Influence Age at Onset of Parkinson's Disease
