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.

New research provides key insights into the structure and function of PINK1, a protein linked to Parkinson's disease.

Researchers have unveiled the first real look at a mitochondrial protein strongly linked to Parkinson's disease, revealing ...

Discover PINK1 structure offers new hope for Parkinson’s disease treatment by revealing its mitochondrial interactions and ...

Researchers say structure reveals many new ways to change PINK1, essentially switching it on, which will be "life-changing" for people with Parkinson’s disease.

In a breakthrough for people living with Parkinson’s, a new study has finally determined the structure of a protein linked to ...

Neurofilament light (NFL) is a powerful and sensitive biomarker for tracking neuronal health and disease progression. Thanks to its capacity to detect patterns and stay consistent, machine ...

Co-author Dr Kelin Zhao, of the WEHI research institute in Melbourne, Australia, said: 'This knowledge enables us to investigate whether these cells can be therapeutically targeted in future to ...

One of the world’s leading Parkinson’s disease scientists has warned of a potential pandemic of the neurological condition if ...

In the case of PSKH1, which is a ‘signalling molecule’, the researchers found that when it binds to a protein called ‘Calmodulin’ PSKH1 is “switched on” and when it binds to a protein called ...

The new study, co-led by WEHI's Professor Michael Lazarou, Professor Gerhard Hummer from the Max Planck Institute and Professor James H. Hurley from University of California, Berkeley, has ...
