科技日报称,据英国广播公司(BBC)5月7日报道,英国莱斯特大学的科学家们表示,他们已经找到了预防罹患朊病毒病的实验鼠脑细胞死亡的方法,并认为可以用来预防其他脑部疾病中大脑细胞的死亡。因此,科学家们未来有望使用单一药物来治疗诸如早老性痴呆症和帕金森氏症等一系列脑部疾病。研究成果5月6日发表在《自然》杂志在线版上。包括阿尔茨海默症、帕金森氏症、亨廷顿氏舞蹈病以及朊病毒病(如人类形式的疯牛病)等在内的很多神经变性疾病都会导致折叠错误的蛋白质堆积,进而导致脑细胞死亡。 According to a BBC report on May 7, Scientists at the University of Leicester in the UK said they have found a way to prevent brain cell death in mice infected with prion disease and believe it could be used Prevention of brain cell death in other brain diseases. Therefore, scientists are expected to use a single drug in the future to treat a range of brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. The research was published on the online version of Nature on May 6. Many neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and prion diseases (such as human form of mad cow disease), can lead to the folding of incorrectly packed proteins, leading to brain cell death.
