• Keeping
abnormal proteins from building up and potentially shutting down major organs (heart, liver and nervous system, to name a few) • Protecting the
brain's functions of learning and memory against neurotransmitter toxicity • Activating or increasing the
activity of proteins that promote the initial growth, maintenance and survival of
brain neurons • Enhancing the movement of proteins, lipids and
other cell parts through the cytoplasm of cell bodies.
«Understanding the inflammatory process in the
brain is critical if we are to develop better treatments not only for FTD, but for
other forms of
brain injury such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and multiple sclerosis (MS)-- which are likely also linked to
abnormal microglial
activity.»
