A study just released could reveal the key to treating nearly 140 million people who suffer from spinal cord injuries, Alzheimer's disease, ALS and other devastating neurological diseases. The study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience Research, shows how a protein called KDI tri-peptide (KDI) can block the harmful effects of the substance glutamate -- which is present in all degenerative brain diseases and spinal cord injuries -- and leads to debilitating paralysis and brain damage in millions of people.
