Short RNAs Linked to Neuron Death Uncovered in Alzheimer’s, Opening New Treatment Avenues
Northwestern Medicine researchers found that RNA interference controls cell death in Alzheimer’s disease, a significant finding. The first short strands of toxic RNAs linked to brain cell death and DNA damage in Alzheimer’s and elderly brains have been identified. Paradigm Shift in Alzheimer’s Treatment The study shows that protective RNA strands decrease with age, which…
