New Biotech Firm All Set To Find Treatment of Alzheimer, Parkinson and ALS

cure for nuerodegenerative disease

Yumanity therapeutics declared to work on neurodegenerative disease. Currently, there are almost 50 million people in this world who suffers from multiple kind of neurodegenerative disease.

The term neurodegenerative are used for several medical conditions that can affect the performance and structure of nerves.  Such sort of continuous loss of structure and function lead to numerous other diseases such as Alzheimer, Huntington, ALS and Parkinson.

Unfortunately, scientists have failed to find a proper cure or treatment which can slow down the speed of neurodegenerative. The doctors merely prescribe drugs to patients which can treat the symptoms of neurodegenerative. They are still unaware of the method through which they can cut the root cause of these diseases. Hence, it makes treatment more complex task for patients. Patients have to spend a large amount of money only to decelerate the symptoms. As per the recent report, the yearly cost for the treatment of neurodegenerative disease is around $650

The chief aim of Yumanity Therapeutics is to battles with the unbearable ailments. The firm joined with a team of experts who are considered as specialists of this disease.

Tony Coles, the CEO of the company said that he love to work on big challenges.  The appropriate treatment for this disease is usually considered as an impossible task.

The researchers inform that the first step is to carefully analyze the protein misfolding. Everyone knows that these neurodegenerative diseases emerge due to the cellular misfolding of proteins.  Therefore, the scientists intend to closely examine the strands which are needed for the correct folding of protein.

Antarctic Ice Reaches The Peak Level, Is Global Warming The Only Reason?

After breaking all earlier records since 1970, the level of sea ice in Antarctic region has crossed the range of 7.70 million square miles on 20th September this year. The global warming is being blamed for the shift of sea ice from Arctic to Antarctic. It points out towards the face saving of global warming because scientists suggest that climate change still has an active role in this matter.

Scientists from NASA- National Aeronautics & Space Administration also attempted to explain the phenomenon of this shifting of poles. According to the statement of Claire Parkinson who is a lead researcher at U.S space agency’s Goddard Space Flight Center, the overall level of sea ice is decreasing but it cannot imply at the same extent to all the sea water ice throughout the world in the same way of global warming.

Parkinson stated, “The Antarctic sea ice is one of those areas where things have not gone entirely as expected. It’s really not surprising to people in the climate field that not every location on the face of Earth is acting as expected – it would be amazing if everything did”.

Walt Meier who is also a scientist at Goddard also suggested blamed warming climate for the changes which are occurring in weather of different places throughout the world. Therefore the increasing of the sea ice level can be associated to the cold air on the oceans which stimulates the process of freezing of sea water which results in rising levels of the sea ice.

Therefore all apparent conditions of increasing sea ice indicate the involvement of other factors rather than blaming only global warming. Meier also thinks that there are no natural barriers around the ice in Antarctica. They are only divided for our convenience as the divisions are based on geometry and geography only. The frozen sea water covers a large area around continents. Due to the availability of large space, the sea ice is expanding in presence of favorable conditions without any constraints.

According to NSIDC-National Snow and Ice Data center also blamed wind patterns for the rapid ice growth in Antarctica because they think those areas exhibit upward trend in ice extent. The melted ice also decreases water density which stimulates ice formation.

According to their statement, “While the change in saltiness is too small to significantly affect the freezing temperature, the increase in slightly less dense water surrounding Antarctica inhibits mixing, creating conditions that favor ice growth”.
