NMDA Receptors Could Be New Target for Brain-Protecting Drugs – Technology Networks
Heidelberg neurobiologists have decoded a central mechanism of degenerative processes in the brains of mouse models and developed a new principle for therapeuti…
Neurobiologists at Heidelberg University have discovered how a special receptor at neuronal junctions that normally activates a protective genetic programme can lead to nerve cell death when located outside synapses. Their fundamental findings on neurodegenerative processes simultaneously led the researchers at the Interdisciplinary Center for Neurosciences (IZN) to a completely new principle for therapeutic agents. In their experiments on mouse models, they discovered a new class of highly effe…
