Parkinson’s “Trigger” Seen Directly in the Human Brain for the First Time
A groundbreaking imaging technique has, for the first time, made the invisible visible. For the first time, scientists have managed to directly observe and measure the protein clusters thought to spark the onset of Parkinson’s disease, representing a major leap forward in understanding this rapidly growing neurological disorder. These microscopic structures, known as alpha-synuclein oligomers, [...]
Parkinson's disease trigger observed in human brain tissue for the first time
Scientists have directly visualised alpha-synuclein oligomers in human brain tissue, a key trigger in Parkinson’s disease, offering new avenues for early diagnosis and treatment For the first time, researchers from the University of Cambridge, UCL, the Francis Crick Institute, and Polytechnique Montréal have directly observed and quantified alpha-synuclein oligomers in human brain tissue. These protein clusters, long suspected to trigger Parkins…
Scientists observe Parkinson's 'trigger' in human brain tissue
New Delhi, Oct 02: Scientists have, for the first time, directly visualised the way Parkinson’s disease gets ‘triggered’ in human brain tissue. Using a newly developed technique, called ASA-PD (Advanced Sensing of Aggregates for Parkinson’s Disease), researchers from the University of Cambridge and University College London, UK, could see, count, and compare the protein clusters called alpha-synuclein oligomers in human brain tissue. Oligomers h…
Technology can play an important role in supporting the development of diagnostics and potential treatments, according to the study, which also included the participation of researchers from the University of Montreal, Canada.
Scientists have visualized and quantified for the first time in human brain tissue the groups of proteins considered as triggers of parkinson, a breakthrough that can mark a milestone in the study and the fight against neurological disease that grows more rapidly in the world. Researchers from the University of Cambridge have achieved it, [...] The entry Scientists visualize for the first time the trigger of parkinson in the brain was first publ…
