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 ...
