Early biomarker found for degenerative neurologic disease
(Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging) Researchers have discovered a novel radioligand that can effectively differentiate progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) from similar brain disorders, allowing for earlier and more reliable diagnosis of the disease. Presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging's 2019 Annual Meeting, these findings bring physicians a step closer to being able to definitively diagnose PSP with imaging rather than waiting for confirmation upon autopsy.

A protein called PERK may be a target for treating progressive supranuclear palsy
(DZNE - German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases) The brain disease 'progressive supranuclear palsy' (PSP) is currently incurable and its symptoms can only be eased to a very limited degree. PSP impairs eye movements, locomotion, balance control, and speech. Scientists at the DZNE and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now discovered a molecular mechanism that may help in the search for effective treatments. A team of researchers led by G ü nter H ö glinger reports on this in the journal 'EMBO Molecular Medicine'. (Source: EurekAlert! - Medicine and Health)
