Researchers have identified a link between the RNA molecule SNHG8 and tau protein malformations, which are associated with several brain diseases. Boosting SNHG8 levels may offer a potential treatment for these conditions.

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have figured out the connection between tau mutations and stress granules, a discovery which could potentially lead to new approaches to treating a group of neurodegenerative diseases known as tauopathies.
