Tripentadecanoin, a promising molecule to fight neurodegenerative diseases
Most degenerative diseases are caused by the toxicity of protein forming aggregates, for example during Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s diseases. In this article, Oamen et al discovered that the lipid tripentadecanoin has a strong neuroprotective activity. The toxicity of protein aggregates is largely reduced when neurons are pre or post treated by tripentadecanoin. Using baker’s yeast as a model for cellular … Continue reading Tripentadecanoin, a promising molecule to fight neurodegenerative diseases
