A drug that protects against Alzheimer’s disease may help with Wolfram Syndrome
Wolfram Syndrome is a rare disease that causes a myriad of challenges, including deafness, diabetes, and depression. New research suggests that an agonist used to treat neurodegenerative disorders may help alleviate some of the symptoms.

"...The team behind the new study didn’t pick an S1R agonist to test out of thin air. They previously showed that the S1R agonist blarcamesine protected mice against Alzheimer’s disease, a neurodegenerative condition partially caused by mitochondrial dysfunction and increased ER-mitochondrial contact (2). The drug, produced by Anavex Life Sciences, is currently undergoing a phase III clinical trial to test its efficacy in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and a phase II trial in patients with Parkinson’s disease, another neurological condition with etiology linked to misbehaving mitochondria...."
