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 ...

Family-linked cases can result from genetic mutations in a group of genes, including LRRK2, PARK2, PARK7, PINK1 and SNCA, although the interactions between the mutations and an individual's risk of ...

Of late, my family members tell me that I talk during sleep and seem to be enacting my dreams by kicking, punching and rotating on my bed,” he told me. On further investigations, I found that there ...

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

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 ...

Parkinson's disease is often seen as a condition that primarily affects older adults. In reality, it can impact people at any age, with 10-20% of cases appearing before the age of 50, and about half ...

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 ...
