This will please my mice.
Neurodegenerative Diseases:
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other dementias
Parkinson’s disease (PD) and PD-related disorders
Prion disease
Motor neurone diseases (MND)
Huntington’s disease (HD)
Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA)
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)
That’s quite amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Don’t tell Fauci. This is clearly just anecdotal.....
Watson come here.
Excellent news! I have a personal stake in this.
pass it around!..........................
This is huge. Not only for Neurodegenerative diseases, but for spinal cord injuries as well!.................
We all have a personal stake in this research - whether we know it today, or not.
This is one research group that has been focusing on a branch of disease research called misfolding proteins.
FReepers have been involved since the project started in the early 2000's and have been folding continuously since.
Motor neurone diseases (MND)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The motor neuron diseases (MNDs) are a group of progressive neurological disorders that destroy motor neurons, the cells that control skeletal muscle activity such as walking, breathing, speaking, and swallowing. This group includes diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, progressive bulbar palsy, primary lateral sclerosis, progressive muscular atrophy, spinal muscular atrophy, Kennedy’s disease, and post-polio syndrome.
ALS - wouldn’t it be something else (words fail me here) if the death sentence of ALS was no longer a death sentence? I know folks who have died from ALS & also know folks currently coping with Parkinsons ... just had an old gentleman I’ve known for decades, die after years of being bedridden with Parkinsons.
It’s just “mice” at this point, but I wish them Godspeed with their research & hope it tanslates to humans with the same wonderful results.
I was doing the FAH project several years ago. Do you know what team Freepers are on?
Impossible! Everybody knows the only to cure these diseases is aborted fetal tissue. Just ask Michael J Fox. /s
I see an uptick in gliomas and hamartomas coming
I used google advanced and found the team number for FR. It’s 36120 if anyone wants to know.
I have also kept it as my tagline for ~20 years ...
Thanks for rejoining the process. It is the same concept as before, but with GPUs doing most of the heavy lifting the computational speeds are amazing compared to the CPU only folding that most of us used to do.
Well, I guess if you’re a mouse and you have Parkinson’s... This is an awesome day for you.
I hope this works. My mom died from Parkinson’s disease. I’d love to add it to the list of diseases conquered by medical science.
