Scientists say they have discovered how a group of proteins linked to Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis act as 'guardians' of mitochondria, small organelles, or subunits, within a ...

Two of the proteins, Parkin and PINK1, hang around the mitochondria’s membrane and work as a pair to enable the mitochondria to fuse or degrade. Abnormalities in the genes for Parkin and PINK1 are ...

Israeli researchers said Friday they have developed a simple, "revolutionary" blood test that for the first time would allow ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have discovered how a group of proteins linked to Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis act as "guardians" of mitochondria, small ...

Besides the well known —such as LRRK2, PARK2, and PINK1— a study conducted by researchers from BGI Genomics, published in Neuroscience Bulletin last year, also revealed novel the genetic cause ...

Researchers at the Leibniz Institute on Aging—Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena have discovered a new function of the DNA repair protein ATR in regulating mitochondrial homeostasis. This discovery ...

First discovered over 20 years ago, PINK1 is a protein directly linked to Parkinson's disease – the fastest growing neurodegenerative condition in the world. Until now, no one had seen ...

In a major breakthrough, they have been able to see the human PINK1 protein and how ... Mar. 11, 2025 — For people with a certain sleep disorder, a simple blood test could help predict the ...

In 2021, Dundee-based researchers made significant strides in understanding Parkinson's disease, identifying key mechanisms in the PINK1 gene that could lead to new treatments. Most recently ...

What is Parkinsonism? Parkinsonism is a neurological disorder that affects the movement of the body. It is named after James ...
