On #GlobalMNDAwarenessDay, we’re highlighting Prof. Adam Walker from the University of Sydney and team who are exploring protein ‘clumping’ in Motor Neuron Disease (MND) and dementia—examining whether this process may actually protect nerve cells. This research could help unlock new treatments for these debilitating diseases.
