Breakthrough in Targeting ‘Undruggable’ Proteins Promises New Horizon for Neurodegenerative Disease Treatment

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. The study focused on disrupting a type of protein-protein interaction that plays a role in the body's antioxidant response. The research holds promise for mitigating the cellular damage that underlies neurodegenerative diseases.
