Targeting TDP-43 for Parkinson's Disease Therapy
This invention is a molecule that targets the aberrant aggregation of a certain protein (TDP-43, associated with neurodegeneration) of neurons. The molecule binds to a specific site within the TDP-43 protein, and this helps prevent the unwanted aggregation of TDP-43 within neurons. The molecule has been shown to stop and even reverse neurodegeneration...

2018-022 SMALL MOLECULE MODULATORS THAT MEDIATE PINK1 AND PARKIN TRAFFICKING IN MITOCHONDRIA
UCLA researchers have developed two novel small molecule probes, MB-10 and DECA, that attenuate PINK1 and Parkin trafficking in mitochondrial in human cells that provide a new approach to elucidate the mechanisms of mitophagy.BACKGROUND:Mitophagy is an important pathway that selectively degrades dysfunctional mitochondria to keep the cell healthy. Neurodegenerative...
