Our foundation is supporting 15 children worldwide with a nano-rare genetic disease and funding research into the gene behind it. The disease is called #HADDTS, and the gene #CTBP1 is tied to aging, cancer, autism, and neurodegenerative diseases. 1/6
In AD/PD models, CTBP1 offers neuroprotection, reducing amyloid-beta in Alzheimer’s and neuron loss in Parkinson’s. Human data still limited; context-dependent roles require more study. #Neuroscience#Alzheimers#Parkinsons 5/6
