Our Alban Gaultier, PhD, found last year that the drug can reduce the production of cytokines, which flood the body when the immune system spirals out of control.
The discovery could have implications for autism and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.
A certain cell type scientists have largely ignored in multiple sclerosis is actually a key driver of the disease, we discovered.
UPDATE: The University of Michigan came out on top with a potential treatment for tinnitus. Congrats to them and to the Kipnis team for a great performance!
Now we may know why specific brain cells die in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Another wonderful recognition of Jonathan Kipnis’ latest work: The National Institutes of Health has named his discovery about the role of the brain’s cleaning system in aging and Alzheimer’s disease one of 2018’s most promising medical advances.
