Protecting the brain from dementia by inducing abnormal protein aggregates
Updated : 3 years, 8 months ago IST
Washington [US], July 2 (ANI): Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's are defined by the pathogenic accumulation of toxic proteins in the brain. Now, however, scientists have established that the p62 protein, which is involved in cellular protein degradation, can prevent

Alzheimer's associated with defective brain cells spreading disease:
Updated : 8 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington D.C. [USA], Feb. 12 (ANI): A recent study suggests neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's may be linked to defective brain cells disposing toxic proteins that make neighboring cells sick.
