Diagnostic Test Could Detect Elusive Neuro Disorder Using Tiny Drop of Spinal Fluid

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a severe neurological disorder classified under frontotemporal dementia (FTD) that impairs cognition, movement, and behavior. Thought to be caused by an accumulation of tau proteins that damage and kill cells, PSP presents symptoms such as poor balance with frequent backward falls and difficulties moving the eyes vertically. Often misdiagnosed as Parkinson’s disease, PSP progresses more rapidly and does not respond to Parkinson’s treatments. Most individuals with PSP pass away approximately seven years after symptoms begin, and frequently, the disease is only identified posthumously during an autopsy. Unlike Alzheimer’s, there are no tau scans, blood tests, or MRIs that can conclusively diagnose PSP, a fact that has hampered the development of treatments. Now, the discovery of a unique pattern of proteins in the spinal fluid of patients could lead to earlier diagnosis and the development of new treatments for PSP. In a study published in Neurology ...

Mission awarded $5.2m to advance potential Parkinson’s treatment

The progressive neurodegenerative condition affects around 153,000 people in the UK Mission Therapeutics has been awarded $5.2m in funding from Parkinson’s UK’s Virtual Biotech programme and the Michael J. Fox Foundation to advance a potential treatment for early-stage Parkinson’s disease (PD). The funding will help support the company’s ongoing phase 1 programme, which consists of a 28-day dosing of its small drug molecule, MTX325, to assess its safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic profile and central nervous system penetration in patients living with the neurodegenerative condition. Affecting around 153,000 people in the UK, PD is a progressive neurological condition that damages parts of the brain over time, causing tremors, slow movement and stiff and inflexible muscles. Mission’s MTX325 is a potent, selective, small-molecule brain-penetrant USP30 inhibitor that works to protect dopamine-producing neurons by improving mitochondrial quality and function. Previous research has already shown evidence that a build-up of dysfunctional mitochondria in cells is ...

UniSA’s ‘Small Steps’ program promotes healthier lifestyles to reduce dementia risk

Whether it’s more sleep or more exercise, simple lifestyle changes may reduce the risk of dementia. Now, a new program from the University of South Australia in collaboration with research partners at Onkaparinga Council and ACH group is helping older Australians make healthier choices to reduce their risk of dementia. Running over 12 weeks, UniSA’s ‘Small Steps’ program will support people aged 65 years and over to make small, incremental changes to their lifestyle choices to improve sleep, reduce sitting time and increase physical activity. UniSA researcher Dr Catherine Yandell says the program hopes to provide participants with genuine insights into their sleep and movement as it relates to dementia risk. “Maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle is essential to reduce the risk of dementia later in life, yet few older adults meet current activity guidelines, and even fewer continue them in the long term,” Dr Yandell says. “Part of ...
