Great to see 2 of our @rcn.org.uk Neuroscience Nursing Forum committee members discuss mental health in Neurology and the importance of being vigilant of issues in patients and fellow staff members. As we know nurses are 23% more likely to take their own life. #neurology #mentalhealth

A breakthrough in #MultipleSystemAtrophy (MSA) research: Dr. Victor Dieriks and his team in NZ have identified that the cause of this neurodegenerative disorder is toxic α-synuclein protein aggregates that invade neuron nuclei. buff.ly/YKLxq6O
Research Discovery: Neurodegeneration in multiple system atrophy (MSA) is caused by toxic protein clumps that penetrate the nuclei of neurons and cause the death of those cells.Diseases affected: Multiple System Atrophy (MSA)Key findings: Oligodendrocytes are not the primary cause of MSA, as previously thought. What's next? By identifying neurons as the primary victims of α-synuclein toxicity, researchers can now develop treatments that protect neurons from invasive protein aggregates or enhance the cells’ ability to clear them out.
