Scientists in the U.S. have identified what they believe to be the genesis of Alzheimer's disease – the precise point at which a healthy tau protein becomes toxic but has not yet formed deadly tangles in the brain. The finding opens up numerous avenues for treatment research.
A small-molecule drug is one of the first to preserve hearing in a mouse model of an inherited form of progressive human deafness, report investigators at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, and the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD).
