A groundbreaking Danish project just received $3.8 million to develop the world's first therapy that could stop Parkinson's disease by destroying the toxic proteins that cause it. Instead of just treating symptoms, this approach aims to halt the disease entirely.
Northwestern University researchers developed a breakthrough therapy that grabs "undruggable" cancer proteins and drags them to the cell's trash system for destruction. The approach worked against MYC and KRAS, two proteins that drive many aggressive cancers and resist most treatments.
Australian researchers have developed tiny particles that can cross into the brain and destroy disease-causing proteins linked to dementia and cancer. The breakthrough technology could finally treat diseases once considered impossible to cure.
Northwestern Medicine researchers discovered how to help mice with ALS live longer and stay stronger by targeting a protein that was accidentally protecting toxic buildup in their cells. The breakthrough opens a new path for treating multiple brain diseases.
Scientists may have found a way to help millions with a stubborn form of heart failure by targeting a protein that makes heart muscles too stiff. Early research in mice shows the approach could restore flexibility to struggling hearts.
Scientists have discovered a way to make stiff heart muscles more flexible by targeting a specific protein, offering new hope for millions living with a common form of heart failure. Early results in mice show the approach could help patients enjoy better quality of life and more precious time with family.
