A new study revealed that the drug “NU-9” (NU-9) can improve the health of neurons in animal models (mice) for Alzheimer’s disease. While the drug obtained the approval of the US Food and Drug Administration to test it on patients with atrophic side sclerosis.
The study was conducted by researchers from the University of North Western in Illinois in the United States, published in the Journal of the National Academy of Sciences (Proceds of the National Academy of Sciences), and was written by Newsweek.
Alzheimer’s and “NO9”
“We need to test it on humans before we know how effective in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. But the efficiency of the work of the motor neurons in mice is similar to the efficiency of their work in humans. So, it seems that the drug NU9 is really effective.”
Alzheimer’s disease affects the brain cells responsible for memory and behavior, which ultimately leads to its complete destruction. The disease begins in advanced ages and then slowly develops, results in memory loss, thinking changes and some brain functions required to practice normal daily life.
Alzheimer’s disease occurs from deformed beta amyloid proteins that lose their natural shape, begin to stick to each other, and damage the brain cells.
Remove protein blocs and reduce inflammation
The U-9 is treated with the mechanisms behind the disease. Laboratory experiments showed that the U-9 reduces the accumulation of distorted proteins inside the cells and along the branches of neurons, and even after stopping the drug, its preventive effect is still.
The study also found that encephalitis has decreased significantly. “The treatment of the N -9 9 has greatly curbed or reduced encephalitis. It stops the accumulation of proteins in the brain, and also stops the repercussions of neuritis, which causes significant damage to the brain. So, the drug is very effective,” said William Klein, a study researcher from the University of North Western.
Other research has shown that the U-9 can activate lysosomes, which are inside the cells and work as recycling centers, where waste is disintegrated and disposed of.
