Detection of estrogen prevents brain degeneration

Researchers have discovered an estrogen hormone that prevents brain degeneration in many diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, sclerosis, Charcot disease, spinal cord injury or aging without increasing the risk of cancer. Breast or uterine cancer in women.

This hormone has so far only been tested in mice. But studies have shown that it prevents disease development in mice with sclerosis. The recovered mice have also been able to walk.

This hormone does not have anti-inflammatory properties like classic estrogen, because it has been modified to limit the risk of breast cancer and uterine cancer.

This form of estrogen will be combined with other treatments to combat inflammatory diseases such as plaque sclerosis.

'The main goal is to protect nerve cells , ' explains Professor Seema Tiwari-Woodruff of the University of California, author of the study.
