Scientists have discovered how a key enzyme, PINK1, is switched on by interacting with specific parts of cell machinery, which helps protect brain cells from Parkinson's disease.
Coffee drinkers have a significantly lower risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, with the highest consumers nearly 40% less likely to develop the condition compared to non-drinkers.
Researchers at the Salk Institute found that cannabinol (CBN) and its derivatives could protect brain cells from aging and damage, showing potential for treating neurological disorders like Alzheimer's and traumatic brain injuries. These findings suggest new therapeutic avenues for neurodegeneration.
Researchers have discovered a new genetic variant, RAB32 Ser71Arg, linked to Parkinson's disease across several countries. This variant interacts with proteins affecting dopamine levels and cell functions, providing insights into the disease's molecular pathways and potential new avenues for treatment.
In a pioneering study published in Nature Human Behavior, researchers from Virginia Tech and collaborators have made significant strides in understanding the neurochemical basis of social interactions, focusing on the roles of dopamine and serotonin.
