New research by Sumeda Nandadasa, PhD, reveals how a key protein associated with Meckel-Gruber syndrome, nephronophthisis, ...

An international team of researchers, led by the University of Exeter, have been awarded a Wellcome Discovery Award grant of ...

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 ...

Stanford researchers discovered that dialing down an overactive enzyme, LRRK2, can regrow lost cellular “antennae” in key brain cells, restoring vital dopamine communication and neuroprotective ...

An overactive LRRK2 enzyme causes cells to lose their primary cilia, a cellular appendage that acts like an antenna, sending ...

The results of experiments in mice models were "astounding," said biochemist Suzanne Pfeffer of Stanford University.

Inhibiting an overabundant enzyme saved a key component of a brain signaling pathway that is vital for motor control in a ...

In a new mouse study, researchers have used optical coherence tomography (OCT) to uncover new insights into how the fallopian tube transports preimplantation embryos toward the uterus for pregnancy.

A new study from Stanford Medicine has found that stopping an overactive enzyme in the brain might help protect and even ...

By shutting down a hyperactive enzyme, scientists got damaged brain cells to regrow their lost “antennae” and restart dopamine signaling—hinting at a possible way to reverse Parkinson’s effects.

A recent study led by Paul DeCaen, Ph.D., associate professor of Pharmacology, has identified novel molecular mechanisms by ...
