A new fluid biomarker for Parkinson’s disease (PD) was developed, offering a high-accuracy biological classification, ...

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 ...

What Is Alpha-Lipoic Acid? Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is an antioxidant that your body makes. You also get it from foods such as broccoli, carrots, potatoes, and red meat. ALA is produced in small ...

synuclein fibrils to their more dynamic 'fuzzy coats'. These findings, published in the journal Neuron, reveal that the flexible regions extending from the fibril core play a crucial role in the ...

Both involve Lewy bodies—clumps of α-synuclein protein in brain cells. While past studies focused on the rigid fibril core, new research by HE Zhuohao's team at the Shanghai Institute of ...

Both diseases involve Lewy bodies-abnormal clumps of α-synuclein protein in brain cells. Previous research on Lewy bodies have often focused on the rigid core of these fibrils. Now, however, a study ...

In October 2024, Blackwell filed suit against Alpha News and reporter Liz Collin, who questioned the honesty of Blackwell’s expert witness testimony during the 2021 trial over the murder of Floyd.

"Developing drugs that target alpha-synuclein may be useful in both diseases," said senior author Vivek Unni, M.D., Ph.D., an associate professor of neurology in the OHSU School of Medicine.
