CureGRIN Foundation is excited to announce that we are funding five research projects for a total investment of $652,500. The announcement was made by CureGRIN CEO Keith McArthur last week at GRI Conference 2023 (GRICON).
Researchers at the University of Toronto tested whether repairing a Grin1 mutation in mice can restore cognitive function. In the article, “Consequences of NMDA receptor deficiency can be rescued in the adult brain”, they report that adult mice born without functioning NMDA receptors (NMDARs) recovered cognitive ability with gene editing.
We are excited to kickoff our 2nd annual virtual physical family challenge to promote healthy lifestyles while raising money to help find therapies and cures for those living with GRIN Disorder.
Investments will be focused on answering the 10 “essential questions” that were identified in consultation with families, researchers and clinicians.
By: Meagan Collins You’ve probably heard that GRIN genes contain the DNA code to build NMDA receptors (NMDARs), but what is the NMDA receptor and why is it so important?
