Scientists at Walter and Elizabeth Hall Institute (WEHI) have made what they describe as a huge leap forward in the fight against Parkinson’s disease, solving a decades-long mystery by determining the ...

People living with Alzheimer’s disease are likely going to require a great deal of care. How much they rely on others to perform daily tasks for them will depend on the severity of symptoms, on when ...

Scientists at Scripps Research published findings that demonstrate how a mitochondrial protein structure is necessary to activate the cell’s integrated stress response (ISR), which is a critical ...

Devastating neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington's, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's are all associated with protein deposits in the brain, known as amyloid. Despite extensive research investment ...

Visualization of the protein clumps associated with Huntington’s disease, determined by combining simulations and multiple complementary types of experiments. The figure shows the overall structure at ...

Solving the structure of an amyloid protein gives new insight into limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 3 (LGMD D3) and functional protein aggregation. LGMD D3 is a rare disease characterized by slow ...

By determining the structure of the deposits responsible for transthyretin amyloidosis through a simple skin biopsy, scientists at UNIGE are paving the way for a new diagnostic method for ...
