Alzheimer's, Parkinson's Diseases Could Be Halted By Protecting Neurons

Alzheimer's, Parkinson's Diseases Could Be Halted By Protecting Neurons
Researchers at Southern Methodist University (SMU) and The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) have identified a group of chemical compounds that slow the degeneration of neurons, a condition behind old-age diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Their findings are featured in the November 2008 edition of Experimental Biology and Medicine. SMU Chemistry Professor Edward R.
