Scripps Research and Stanford Scientists Find New Drug Candidates for Set of Protein-Folding Diseases
LA JOLLA, CA – August 29, 2011 — Collaborating researchers at Stanford University and The Scripps Research Institute have identified chemical compounds that show promise as potential therapeutics for a set of medical conditions caused by the abnormal clumping together of a protein known as transthyretin (TTR).
The compounds, which prevent the abnormal aggregation of the TTR protein, work by holding the protein together in…
