U-M Report: Injured Neuron Pathways May Contribute To Alzheimer’s, ALS

ANN ARBOR - An injury pathway in the neurons of fruit flies may cause the loss of synapses in diseases such as Alzheimer's and ALS, according to University of Michigan researchers. This pathway, called DLK, has received recent attention as a candidate drug target because it contributes to the deterioration of damaged neurons. The new
