LRRK2 and autophagy | Degenerating neurons
https://degeneratingneurons.wordpress.com/2013/08/07/lrrk2-and-autophagy
Promoting neurodegenerative disease research. August 7, 2013. Mutations in LRRK2 are the most common genetic cause of Parkinson’s disease. Here, Claudia Manzoni from the UCL Institute of Neurology talks about her research (funded by the Rosetrees Trust and the Michael J. Fox Foundation) into what LRRK2 might be doing within the cell:. Parkinson’s disease attacks a small area in the brain called the substantia nigra. We are working to clarify all the details of LRRK2 function, and after that even more wor...

Understanding amyloid production | Degenerating neurons
https://degeneratingneurons.wordpress.com/2014/01/21/understanding-amyloid-production
Promoting neurodegenerative disease research. January 21, 2014. In a new study in Cell Reports, a group of scientists (including Rita Guerreiro. Part of the Wellcome Trust Neurodegeneration Initiative) have tried to unpick the way in which brain cells make beta-amyloid, a key protein in Alzheimer’s disease. Here is what Rita had to say about the work:. The authors were able to put together the membrane-trafficking events regulating beta-amyloid production by clearly demonstrating that although retromers ...
