Endogenous Neuroprotection: Hamartin Modulates an Austere Approach to Staying Alive in a Recession
Hadley G., De Luca GC., Papadakis M., Buchan AM.
Tuberous sclerosis complex 1 (hamartin) is an effective endogenous neuroprotectant. Understanding the endogenous mechanism for neuroprotection mediated by hamartin may afford a novel approach to effective treatment of neurological diseases such as stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, and epilepsy, with possible applications to nonneurological conditions.
