A new study suggests that targeting the protein alpha-synuclein could be a possible new target for treating melanoma.

Scientists examined microscopic blobs of protein found in human cells has discovered that some morph from an almost honey-like substance to a hard candy-like solid. These mysterious droplets, known as ...

The study, published in the journal Science Advances, suggests new avenues for drug development to reduce the risk of developing both Parkinson's and skin cancer by targeting the alpha-synuclein ...

This could assign a potential function to the synuclein family, which may have important implications for understanding the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases.

Parkinson's disease-associated protein alpha-synuclein (αSyn) has demonstrated its involvement in melanoma progression, which represents a dangerous skin cancer type. Medical studies demonstrate ...

White arrows indicate accumulation of 18F-SPAL-T-06, suggesting α-synuclein aggregates in the putamen, yellow arrows in the pons, yellow triangle in the cerebellar white matter, and white ...

Parkinson's disease is linked to gut microbiome imbalances, impacting alpha-synuclein accumulation and triggering inflammation. Gastrointestinal issues like constipation and nausea are common ...

Both conditions are thought to be associated with the accumulation in brain cells of a protein called alpha-synuclein. However, alpha-synuclein could not be imaged from outside the body with ...
