## Parent Protein (CNTF) of P21 Peptide Rescues Dopamine Neurons. “Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) has a neuroprotective effect on dopaminergic neurons. Nam et al. report that the capsaicin receptor TRPV1 expressed on astrocytes mediates the production of endogenous CNTF to inhibit degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in two rodent models of Parkinson's disease.” “Currently there is no neuroprotective or neurorestorative therapy for Parkinson’s disease. Here we report that transient rece

## Cerebrolysin and Vascular Dementia ### A Look into the Research: Vascular dementia (VaD) is the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer's disease (AD). The term 'vascular dementia' refers to a constellation of cognitive and functional impairments all caused by disordered blood flow to the brain. Vascular dementia can be considered a subset of the larger syndrome of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI), that is all cognitive syndromes associated with a cerebrovascular brain injury.
## What is Follistatin? Follistatin was first identified in the late 1980s, when researchers discovered that it could block the activity of myostatin, a protein that regulates muscle growth. This finding sparked a great deal of interest in the scientific community, and over the next several years, researchers began to uncover more information about the protein's structure and function. One of the key breakthroughs came in 1997, when scientists discovered that a genetic mutation in a bree
