A study using a tiny roundworm could pave the way for new treatments for neurodegenerative disorders. Researchers linked the worm gene swip-10 to copper regulation -- a vital element for brain health ...
Scientists discovered a link between copper regulation and neurodegeneration, using the worm gene swip-10. Their findings suggest that restoring copper balance could offer new treatments for disorders ...
Research lead Randy D. Blakely, PhD, and colleagues, linked function of the C. elegans gene swip-10 to the control of copper (Cu), a vital micronutrient that plays several essential roles in all cells ...
co-author and a graduate student; and Zayna Gichi, co-author and a research assistant, all within the Blakely Lab, tested 300 lines in the MMP library to find worms that showed Swip behavior.
I’d highly recommend it – it leaves two beings better off & remember what they say never judge a book by its cover – swip for the before photo… thanks to @tobiessmalldogrescue also @ ...
