Overview Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating disease that is progressive, invariably fatal, and untreatable. Our invention features isolated Cyp4gl polypeptides with mutations at various key amino acid positions that suppress the effects and progress of ALS, as well as mutated polynucleotides that encode these polypeptides. Our invention...

New use of CsA-type drugs for the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease

Novel Method Repurposes CsA-Type Compounds to Treat Neurodegenerative Disease Overview Alzheimer’s disease remains a challenging disorder for drug development, with many candidate drugs failing clinical trials. Our novel method repurposes camphorsulfonic acid (CsA)-type compounds to treat early-stage Alzheimer’s disease, as well as...

A novel nucleocytoplasmic regulator of autophagy-associated transcription factors stimulates autophagy and prevents the proteostatic decline associated with neurodegeneration

Activating Autophagy to Prevent Neurodegeneration and Extend Lifespan Overview Decline in proteostasis is a hallmark of age-related neurodegerative disease such as Alzheimer’s Disease. Autophagy is the process by which cells rid themselves of damaged or otherwise unnecessary material, which then moves to the lysosome and degrades. Pharmacologic...
