The fear of losing count of all that one counts on, might just temper down thanks to a new research…
A recent Cardiff University research (largest ever study of Alzheimer’s) has uncovered two genes (CLU and PICLAM) associated with the disease, which is giving scientists hope for a much clearer course to develop new treatments. Professors, who are a part of the research, can not contain their excitement after learning about the protective effect of these genes on the brain and at being able to fathom Alzheimer’s disease in an entirely new way. Until now, only one gene (APOE) related to Alzheimer’s was known and that too, the one that stimulates the ailment.
Inheriting any of this gene’s four mutated forms is known to cause Alzheimer’s genetically. This gene releases harmful proteins that get deposited in the brain and these deposits are known as amyloid plaques. While CLU produces a protein that clears these plaques deposited in the brain, the PICLAM gene produces protein that aids nerve cells to form new memories…
This research paves way for a whole new set of inventions, from medicines to equipments. Scientists plan to track the changes in these genes to interpret disease development before it gets too late for those who run the risk of getting the disease. Now, patients will be able to hold on to their memories for longer... unlike the man I mentioned in the beginning, who wasn’t an engineer but a bureaucrat...
