‘Junk’ DNA could unlock new treatments for neurological disorders as scientists discover its
breaks and repairs affect our protection against neurological disease. The groundbreaking
research from the University of Sheffield’s Neuroscience Institute and Healthy Lifespan Institute
gives important new insights into so-called junk DNA and how it impacts on neurological
disorders such as Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and Alzheimer’s.
The researchers also identified the pathway of how oxidative breaks are formed and repaired.
Repairing these breaks in junk DNA is essential for producing proteins which protect us from
disease.
