Scientists have made a potentially “life-changing” discovery that could pave the way for new drugs to treat Parkinson’s ...

Speaking to the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, the study’s author Professor David Komander said: “Our ...

Study reveals the structure of PINK1 protein, offering fresh hope for Parkinson's patients through potential targeted ...

First discovered more than 20 years ago, PINK1 is a protein directly linked to Parkinson’s disease, but until now, no one has seen what human PINK1 looks like, or how PINK1 attaches to ...

For instance, scientists have discovered that having certain genes may increase a person’s risk for developing Parkinson’s disease, such as a mutation in the PINK1 (PTEN-induced putative ...

The Australian researchers have revealed for the first time the structure of the PINK1 protein, which is known to be related to Parkinson's disease, enhancing the possibility of fundamental treatment.

WEHI researchers have made a huge leap forward in the fight against Parkinson’s disease, solving a decades-long mystery that paves the way for development of new drugs to treat the condition. First ...

PINK1’s role in Parkinson’s has been known for a long time, but frustratingly the protein’s structure, and how it attaches to mitochondria, have remained a mystery. That makes it hard to ...

First discovered over 20 years ago, PINK1 is a protein directly linked to Parkinson’s disease – the fastest growing neurodegenerative condition in the world. Until now, no one had seen ...

When that PINK1 protein mutates, broken mitochondria stay in the cell. This mutation, and the resulting build-up of damaged mitochondria, has now been linked to Parkinson’s. PINK1 has therefore ...
