TDP-43 has more connection with the
symptoms of Alzheimer's disease
than amyloid plaques and tau protein.
Although amyloid plaques and tau protein are in the brain is not 100% sure that the person suffers the symptoms of this
disease, even if they have the disease.
HIGH SECURITY
TDP-43 AS A MARKER OF ALZHEIMER.

However, the first time images were obtained by brain scans of tau tangles and amyloid plaques in living people.
Although we know the proteins that are Involved in Alzheimer's, has been very difficult to make a diagnosis through them Because it could only be observed in the brain after death.

The abnormal form of TDP-43 that is found as deposits in certain areas of the cortex of Alzheimer's patients also relates to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia.

opened to get the
chance to see TDP-43
in living patients.

“Researchers Discover Protein Regulating Diabetics' Blood Sugar”
The potential of FGF1 protein was discovered in mice with type 2 diabetes
induced by the investigators.
Investigators injecting this growth factor.
Levels of blood glucose were positioned in very stable values for more
than two days.

“Researchers Discover Protein Regulating Diabetics' Blood Sugar”
“FGF1 appears to resensitize the body to
insulin, which transports glucose into the cells,
normalizing blood sugar levels.”
This is a big difference with existing treatments that its action is produce more insulin, these types of treatments have many adverse effects.

Ron Evans, says:
“So, as a result, the combination of FGF1 and the body’s insulin rebalances the equation and allows glucose to be
controlled as if it was normal. ”

Student observation
To ensure good progress and great expectations for patients suffering from different diseases is essential to continue research into molecules that can be linked to the disease.
Investigate the application of molecules that apparently not have any important function in some diseases because it could be the answer to questions that take decades trying to answer.

Medical utility
Diagnosis of Alzheimer's through the future development of new brain scanning techniques to find the defective TDP-43.
If you come to an early diagnosis, it can be done timely treatment, more effective without many complications.

Medical utility
FGF1 in glycemic control, as sensitizing the cell to insulin in type 2 diabetes.
Thanks to the development of a new treatment can prevent or reduce many of the symptoms experienced by diabetic patients.

Medical utility
The power of knowing the proteins that are affected in certain diseases. for use as markers and to research on how to reverse the damage.
The power of knowing functions of proteins to use them in treat for health problems.
