A groundbreaking study introduces a new method of targeting 'undruggable' proteins to fight neurodegenerative diseases by enhancing cellular antioxidant defenses, offering new hope for treatment advancements. Researchers led by Northwestern University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison have

Researchers led by Northwestern University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison have introduced a pioneering approach aimed at combating neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

<p>In a new study, researchers discovered a new way to enhance the body’s antioxidant response, which is crucial for cellular protection against the oxidative stress implicated in many neurodegenerative diseases. The pioneering approach might inform treatments for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).</p>

Early detection of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants is critical to assessing risk, providing clear and timely communication messages, and coordinating public health action. CDC used a multicomponent surveillance approach to track the global spread of the SARS-CoV-2 variant BA.2.86.

Cornell researchers have provided the first documentation that dogs’ sense of smell is integrated with their vision and other unique parts of the brain.
