Neurodegenerative Disease with Targets
Learn about featured antibodies for neurodegenerative and neurological diseases including:
|
|---|
Alzheimer's Disease
|
Key Targets:
|
Alzheimer’s Disease is characterized by neuronal loss, alterations in neurotransmitter systems, and the presence of neurofibrillary tangles composed of abnormal tau paired helical filaments.
|
Huntington's Disease
|
Key Targets:
|
Huntington's Disease (HD) is a devastating, hereditary, degenerative brain disorder for which there is, at present, no effective treatment or cure. Huntington’s Disease slowly diminishes the affected individual’s ability.
|
Parkinson's Disease
|
Key Targets:
|
Parkinson’s Disease is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that occurs when cells in an area of the brain called the substantia nigra begin to malfunction and die.
|
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
|
Key Targets:
|
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a nerve disorder caused by the autoimmune destruction of the insulating myelin layer surrounding neurons in the brain and spinal cord.
|
Acute Injury and Chronic Neurodegeneration
|
Key Targets:
|
A general feature of many neurological diseases, disorders, or injuries is the degeneration of proximal and/or distal neural processes.
|
Brain Inflammation
|
Key Targets:
|
Whether a massive inflammatory response caused by head injury or a viral infection such as encephalitis or meningitis, or a localized event caused by neurodegenerative disease, inflammation of the central nervous system can cause serious additional neurological damage.
|
Reward Pathways & Addiction
|
Key Targets:
|
Americans view Drug abuse and addiction as the most serious public health problem, above cancer, heart disease, AIDS and even violence.
|
Prion Diseases
|
Key Targets:
|
The prion protein is a large membrane protein that occurs normally in neurons of the human brain and is thought to be involved in synaptic transmission.
