Q. When I moved to the Lowcountry of South Carolina about 40 years ago, I learned about an herb called Life Everlasting. People in the Gullah culture sometimes call it Light of Molasses.

University of Connecticut researchers report in the April 16 issue of Science Advances that mutations in the TARDBP gene that reduce TDP-43 protein levels also impair the cells lining blood vessels in ...

When endothelial cells lack enough TDP-43 protein, they don't stick together as tightly. This creates gaps in the blood vessel walls, allowing large or toxic molecules to leak into the brain.

Brain blood vessels are in constant contact ... and these clumps can spread between cells. The researchers have shown that endothelial TDP-43 dysfunction occurs early in the disease.
