Researchers discover possible cause for genetic anomalies
Updated : 5 months, 3 weeks ago IST
Researchers have discovered a possible cause for the genetic anomalies that cause rare disorders such as Huntington's disease (HD). The majority of spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) and other neurological illnesses are thought to be caused by an increase in CAG (cytosine-adenine-guanine) repea

Study find that copper leads to protein aggregation, may cause Parkinson's
Updated : 3 years, 8 months ago IST
Washington [US], July 9 (ANI): Copper exposure in the environment and the protein alpha-synuclein in the human brain could play an important role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. Researchers were able to show how the protein takes on an unusual shape when exposed to large amounts
