«Breaking News» Motor Neurone Disease breakthrough: 'Remarkable' new drug can slow down the disease by 70 per cent

Australian researchers are optimistic that a new copper capsule may offer Motor Neurone Disease sufferers hope for a cure. 

The drug, CuATSM, was trialled on 32 patients in Melbourne and Sydney over 15 years, and appeared to ­slow the progression of MND by 70 per cent.

It is based on the theory that a decrease of copper in the brain may be a factor in the onset of neurodegenerative diseases 

A new copper drug by Australian researchers has been found to slow the progression of MND

'Copper is just part of the drug,' Professor Ashley Bush, ­director of the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health told The Daily Mail.

'We are working out what the mechanism is now, but the possibilities include delivering a safe amount of copper to where it is needed in the tissue, as well as, mopping up damage to the membranes of neurons, or both.' 

The breakthrough is particularly exciting as it is the first of its kind which appears to slow the progression of the disease, rather than just treat the symptoms. 

'For a disease that is considered irreversible it was remarkable,' said Professor Bush. 

'The approach is to try to stop the disease, rather than provide symptomatic benefit.'  

Professor Ashley Bush is optimistic the findings could pave the way for a cure for MND

The study was conducted by researchers from the Florey Institute, the University of Melbourne and the Bio21 Institute of Molecular Science and Biotechnology.

Findings were presented at at the International Symposium on ALS/MND in Glasgow, Scotland, with a second phase trial scheduled for the second half of 2019. 

'Our first study of the drug (which is also currently being tested on patients with Parkinson's disease) was encouraging', said Professor Bush. 

'The plan is to take the next step towards a definitive result, which might take two years to complete.'

Research was partly funded by AFL legend Neale Daniher's Fight MND Foundation, which contributed $500,000 to the stage 1 trial. 

The former Essendon player was himself diagnosed with MND in 2013, and has since used his platform to raise funds and awareness of the disease.

It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. For all interested parties, email angocman@gmail.com. It will be very interesting.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
