Anti-Epileptic Drug Shows Potential in Neurodegenerative Diseases
In a new study titled “Ethosuximide ameliorates neurodegenerative disease phenotypes by modulating DAF-16/FOXO target gene expression”, published in Molecular Neurodegeneration, researchers have discovered that ethosuximide, a commonly prescribed anti-epileptic drug, has protective and potential therapeutic effects for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s. To investigate the…
