Protein Deficiency in Brain Plays Key Role in Early-Onset Dementia
Scientists at the UCSF-affiliated Gladstone Institutes have discovered how a protein deficiency may be linked to frontotemporal dementia (FTD) — a form of early-onset dementia similar to Alzheimer’s disease. These results lay the foundation for therapies that one day may benefit those who suffer from this and related brain diseases.
