Research Shows Reduction of Tau Protein Improves Symptoms in Model of Severe Childhood Epilepsy
Reducing brain levels of the protein tau effectively blocks the development of disease in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome, a severe intractable form of childhood epilepsy, researchers at the Gladstone Institutes have shown. This therapeutic strategy not only suppressed seizure activity and premature death, but also improved cognitive and behavioral abnormalities that can accompany this syndrome.
