On the trail of Parkinson’s disease

The molecular causes of diseases such as Parkinson’s need to be understood as a first step towards combating them. University of Konstanz chemists working alongside Professor Malte Drescher recently succeeded in analysing what happens when selective mutations of the alpha-synuclein protein occur – a protein that is closely linked to Parkinson’s disease. In a complex […]

Discovery of neurotransmission gene may pave way for early detection of Alzheimer’s Disease

A new Tel Aviv University study identified a gene coding for a protein that turns off neurotransmission signalling, which contributes to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The gene, called RGS2 (Regulator of Protein Signalling 2), has never before been implicated in AD. The researchers report that lower RGS2 expression in AD patient cells increases their sensitivity to […]

Copeptin levels associated with renal and cardiac disease

Type 1 diabetes patients with elevated albumin in their urine had three times the risk of life-threatening kidney and cardiac disease as those with normal levels, according to researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. The study, led by Dr. Petter Bjornstad, MD, of the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes at CU […]

Cancer signalling pathway could lead to new cancer therapies

Researchers from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and Carbone Cancer Center have better defined a pro-growth signalling pathway common to many cancers that, when blocked, kills cancer cells but leaves healthy cells comparatively unharmed. The study could establish new avenues of therapeutic treatments for many types of solid tumours. Growth […]

Study reverses thinking on genetic links to stress, depression

For years, scientists have been trying to determine what effect a gene linked to the brain chemical serotonin may have on depression in people exposed to stress. But now, analysing information from more than 40,000 people who have been studied over more than a decade, researchers led by a team at Washington University School of […]

Gene find sheds light on growth defects linked to dwarfism

A new study shows how errors in a specific gene can cause growth defects associated with a rare type of dwarfism. During the study, an international team of scientists led by the University of Birmingham looked at genetic information from more than 250 people around the world with primordial dwarfism, a group of disorders characterised […]
