Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, are associated with the deposition of protein aggregates in the brain. These aggregates accumulate when the cellular waste removal ...

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 ...

Protein aggregates accumulate during aging and are linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or Huntington's disease. A new study by the Nyström lab at Gothenburg University, ...

The causes of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, frontotemporal dementia and prion diseases can be many and varied. But there is a common denominator, namely ...

DGIST has made a groundbreaking announcement: a research team, under the guidance of professors Jiwon Um and Jaewon Ko, has ...

Protein misfolding and aggregation are key features observed in numerous neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The oligomers formed during the aggregation process ...

Proteins misfolding and clumping together, a process known as aggregation, is a key feature seen in several neurological conditions, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. These disorders ...

A designer version of the tau protein, developed by a team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers, maintains its ...

Several neurodegenerative diseases begin when toxic protein clumps form in neurons. Scientists have yet to find a good way to clear these clumps from cells. Researchers now report that a ...

We can replace joints, lenses, even organs—but not the brain. As neuroscience unravels the mechanisms of neurodegeneration, ...
