Similarly, our eyes go through changes as we age. In this study, scientists investigated how aging affects the function and structure of the retina, the part of the eye […]
Imagine if you could detect Parkinson’s disease with a simple blood test. Well, researchers have discovered that certain proteins in the blood, called Lewy body-associated proteins, can serve as a biomarker for Parkinson’s disease. These proteins, specifically p-Asyn at ser129, total α-syn, and oligomeric α-syn, were found to be significantly higher in patients with Parkinson’s […]
In the intricate dance of the brain, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) stages a destructive waltz. Picture this: the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) proteins forms plaques that disrupt the delicate balance of proteostasis, like a heavy object tilting a seesaw. Researchers turned to microscopic worms, Caenorhabditis elegans, to explore the equilibrium between autophagy and Aβ. Using an […]
