Experts excited by brain 'wonder-drug'

Scientists hope they have found a drug to stop all neurodegenerative brain diseases, including dementia.

In 2013, a UK Medical Research Council team stopped brain cells dying in an animal for the first time, creating headline news around the world.

But the compound used was unsuitable for people, as it caused organ damage.

Now two drugs have been found that should have the same protective effect on the brain and are already safely used in people.

"It's really exciting," said Prof Giovanna Mallucci, from the MRC Toxicology Unit in Leicester.
She wants to start human clinical trials on dementia patients soon and expects to know whether the drugs work within two to three years.....read it all...or dont, like i care ( i probably care ;)

Mind you I read demetia not Parkinsons hmm

Warning:
Side effects can include Death, Death-like symptoms, and Deathiness.

Not to be cynical, but isn't that always what happens when the promise of a new wonder drug rises?
"Oh, in Rats it completely stops all degenerative diseases and cures cancer, and increases your virility by 30000%!! but in humans it's side effect is analogous to putting a loaded gun to your head and pulling the trigger..."

Isn't this the premise of the re-make, "Planet of the Apes"?



BoscoX -> RE: Experts excited by brain 'wonder-drug' (4/20/2017 10:04:48 AM)

I was thinking more, "I Am Legend"



WickedsDesire -> RE: Experts excited by brain 'wonder-drug' (4/20/2017 1:03:25 PM)

I think it’s patently clear what I said and why :)

That aside now no-one best The planet of the apes original PLANET OF THE APES (1968) - Lady Liberty Destroyed

Now I am legend there are 3 I favour the Charlton Heston version myself and that version is called the Omega Man

This will be just like Rogaine, actually on the market too late to do me any good. 😊

Now just what are 'death-like symptoms' and what 'is' deathiness ? Are they anything akin to gett'n fucked out too high on wine ?

Trazodone is already available.

Since 2013, the research group has tested more than 1,000 ready-made drugs on nematode worms, human cells in a dish and mice. Two were shown to prevent both a form of dementia and prion disease by stopping brain cells dying. Prof Mallucci told the BBC News website: "Both were very highly protective and prevented memory deficits, paralysis and dysfunction of brain cells." The best known drug of the pair is trazodone, which is already taken by patients with depression.
