麦考瑞大学周一启动脑研究所与诊所,汇聚研究人员与临床医生专注于运动神经元病的研究与治疗1。该诊所的核心目标是加快科研发现转化为临床应用的进程1。麦考瑞大学副校长Patrick McNeil表示,从重要研究发现到临床实施通常需要平均17年时间1。
新南威尔士州成为全球首个司法管辖区将运动神经元病列为可通报疾病,以帮助了解疾病原因1。神经科诊所主任Dominic Rowe指出,800名澳大利亚人将在今年因该疾病死亡1。除运动神经元病外,该设施还将进行帕金森病和阿尔茨海默病等痴呆症的研究与治疗1。教授James Burrell表示,已有可用的阿尔茨海默病疾病缓解疗法1。
Macquarie University opened a brain research institute and clinic on Monday to unite researchers and clinicians in the study and treatment of motor neurone disease 1. The facility aims to accelerate the translation of research discoveries into clinical practice, a process that typically takes an average of 17 years 1.
New South Wales has become the first jurisdiction globally to classify motor neurone disease as a notifiable condition, a step taken in early September to better understand the disease's underlying causes 1. According to the clinic's director, Dominic Rowe, approximately 800 Australians will die from the disease this year 1. Beyond motor neurone disease, the institute will also conduct research and provide treatment for Parkinson's disease and dementia conditions including Alzheimer's disease 1. Professor James Burrell noted that disease-modifying therapies for Alzheimer's disease are already available 1.
