What are the latest advances in Multiple Systems Atrophy?
Here you can see the latest advances and discoveries made regarding Multiple Systems Atrophy.
As of 2018 the exact underlying cause of multiple system atrophy is unknown. From post mortem observations of brain tissue it appears that a buildup of toxic alpha-synuclein protein in nerve cells is somehow involved in the pathology of the disease. Current research is focused on finding ways to prevent or reverse this toxic buildup.
There is currently a number of studies in place for Parkinson’s and Alzheimers that may carry over. There is a national registry collecting data for comparison. If you live in a right to try state, your doctor might have access to these medications outside of clinical studies.
