A University of Massachusetts Amherst scientist has discovered that a mutation in the misfolding protein that causes Parkinson’s disease offers protection against another fatal neurodegenerative ...
A protein tied to ALS and dementia may have a much bigger role in disease than scientists realized. Researchers found that ...
In people destined to get Alzheimer's in their mid-40s, one protein can delay the onset of the disease by about 20 years.
In humans, hundreds of proteins interact in a complex network dubbed the interactome. Those interactions are further complicated when disease-causing mutations are introduced into genes that code for ...
Houston Methodist scientists have uncovered an unexpected side of a protein best known for its link to brain diseases. The ...
A hallmark of Parkinson’s disease is the buildup of Lewy bodies — misfolded clumps of the protein known as alpha-synuclein. Long before Lewy bodies form, alpha-synuclein can interfere with neurons’ ...
About 40% of East Asians suffer from alcohol intolerance, known as "Asian Flush Syndrome," caused by an ALDH2 genetic ...
Sickle cell diseases arises from hemoglobin protein mutations. The mutation causes red blood cells to form a sickle shape rather than a round one. One study suggests that this mutation could be ...
Mutations in genes that form the desmosome are the most common cause of the cardiac disease arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), which affects one in 2000 to 5000 people worldwide. Researchers have ...
