How Alzheimer's could occur: Protein spheres in the nucleus give wrong signal for cell division
A new hypothesis has been developed by researchers in Bochum on how Alzheimer's disease could occur. They analysed the interaction of the proteins FE65 and BLM that regulate cell division. In the cell culture model, they ...

Shining lasers on mouse brains sheds light on cells central to Alzheimer's, schizophrenia
Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia are some of the most common brain disorders and have been associated with problems in cells that contain a type of protein, called parvalbumin. These parvalbumin-containing cells account ...
