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 ...

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 ...
