Scientists Uncover Hidden RNA Structure That Triggers Parkinson’s Disease

Researchers have identified that G-quadruplexes promote harmful protein aggregation in neurodegenerative diseases. Blocking G4s with 5-ALA stopped Parkinson’s-like symptoms in mice, suggesting a promising path for early disease intervention. Researchers at Kumamoto University have discovered a groundbreaking mechanism behind the formation of harmful protein aggregates that contribute to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s Disease. The team, [...]
