New Intranasal administration of ergothioneine improves memory in a mouse model of multiple system atrophy.
Biochemical and biophysical research comm… | 2025 Feb 28 | PubMed ID: 40056502 | Read Article
'Abstract: No effective treatments have been established to delay or prevent the progression of multiple system atrophy (MSA), which is characterised by the accumulation of abnormal α-synuclein (α-Syn) species, including toxic α-Syn oligomers, in the central nervous system. In our previous study, we demonstrated that intranasal administration of trehalose reduces the levels of α-Syn oligomer by accelerating their conversion from toxic α-Syn oligomers to less harmful fibrils in a human α-Syn inducible MSA mouse model. This finding suggests that reducing α-Syn oligomers may be a crucial therapeutic strategy for MSA''Abstract: No effective treatments have been established to delay or prevent the progression of multiple system atrophy (MSA), which is characterised by the accumulation of abnormal α-synuclein (α-Syn) species, including toxic α-Syn oligomers, in the central nervous system.
