Small-molecule drug reverses neural effects of concussion
by University of California, San Francisco Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain A small molecule called ISRIB that was identified at UC San Francisco can reverse the neuronal and cognitive effects of concussion in mice weeks after an injury occurred, new research has found. ISRIB blocks the integrated stress response (ISR), a quality control process for protein...
