I suspect we may find causes and cures at the DNA, mRNA, and protein level.

Why can't we sign people up and at least try some experimental drugs to help them and cut through all the FDA crap. I am sick of watching my loved one rot away because of lawyers and buerocrats. I would sign a legal waver....we have nothing to lose at this point!!!!!!!! These people have nothing to lose. eventually they have a terrible almost non existence.

Thanks to all the under- noted scientists that work in pure research so that the human condition can be improved. It always amazes me how complicated the brain is.

We all want them to manage these proteins like the little bear's porridge. “We sought to investigate how TDP-43 regulates the levels of the protein progranulin, given that extreme progranulin levels at either end of the spectrum, too low or too high, can respectively lead to neurodegeneration or cancer…”
