Back when James Parkinson first described the disorder now known as Parkinson’s disease, he noticed that severe constipation can be a prelude to the signature tremors. In the 208 years since then, ...

A new study from scientists at VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease and elsewhere reveals the role of an RNA binding protein called Fused in Sarcoma (FUS) in the development of frontotemporal ...

Researchers have used computational models to understand what drives the accumulation of alpha-synuclein protein, a key culprit in the development of Parkinson’s disease. The study, published today as ...

Researchers headed by a team at the Centre for Genomic Regulation, Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology and at the Wellcome Sanger Institute have developed an AI tool that they say has made a ...

The formation of aggregates due to protein misfolding and resulting protein instability is associated with several diseases. Previous studies have shown the potential of sulfobetaine polymer, a ...

Could measuring protein clumps in our cells be a new way to find out our risk of getting age-related diseases? Professor Dorothee Dormann and Professor Edward Lemke of Johannes Gutenberg University ...

A team of researchers at Kumamoto University has uncovered a groundbreaking mechanism in the formation of harmful protein aggregates that lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's Disease ...

A study of killifish reveals how protein dysfunction develops in vertebrate brain cells, a key driver of aging. Aging and neurodegeneration are both known to disrupt the production of functional ...
