Now, it’s not the Royal Baby ~ Although, I do have a BuzzFeed graph of what the internet might have looked like this afternoon …..
No – it’s a very important discovery …..
Those of you who’ve been around my blog know that I suffer from depression…sometimes serious, deep depression and that I have (according to the Doctors) probably suffered for as long as 60+ years.
Treatment/medication are fine. But this article from The Independent in England has given me tremendous hope.
I”ll link to the article, but this just might be the money quote:
Researchers used a particle accelerator called the Diamond Light Source to understand the structure of CRF1. The X-ray machine’s powerful beams illuminated the protein’s structure, according to the Sunday Times, including a crevice that could become a new target for drug therapy.
The information gained from this study will be used to design small molecule drugs that fit into this new pocket to treat depression.
This is wonderful news, and news that gives me hope for all of those (myself included) who suffer from this disease ….
Here’s the link to the article ….
