A gene that stops the toxic buildup of a protein found in nerve cells has been discovered by Gladstone Institutes and the Stanford University School of Medicine scientists. These findings point to a potential new tactic for treating a variety of neurodegenerative conditions, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease)-a fatal disease for which there is no cure.

Toxic Protein That Plays Key Role in Lou Gehrig's Disease Blocked
A gene that stops the toxic buildup of a protein found in nerve cells has been discovered by Gladstone Institutes and the Stanford University School of Medicine scientists. These findings point to a potential new tactic for treating a variety of neurodegenerative conditions, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease)-a fatal disease for which there is no cure.
