The genetic mutation causes an enzyme called leucine-rich repeat kinase 2, or LRRK2, to be overactive. Too much LRRK2 enzyme activity changes the structure of brain cells in a way that disrupts ...

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have revealed the structure of a key protein involved in ...

Putting the brakes on an enzyme might rescue neurons that are dying due to a type of Parkinson’s disease that’s caused by a single genetic mutation, according to a new Stanford Medicine-led study ...

Researchers at the University of Oxford and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have uncovered the ...

They detected an over-expression of an enzyme called CH25H in the lymphatic endothelial cells associated with the tumors, a result they confirmed in human beings: the more lymphatic vessels the ...

New research shows that inhibiting overactive LRRK2 enzymes could stabilize Parkinson's disease progression, with Stanford ...
