A groundbreaking study has uncovered a link between a mitochondrial metabolite and the triggering of an inflammatory response. As essential components of our cells, mitochondria play a crucial role in performing various tasks such as chemical reactions that are necessary for cell functioning. One of
New genetic findings add weight to the theory that degenerative motor neuron disease is caused by abnormal lipid (fat) processing pathways inside brain cells
A new genetic discovery adds weight to a theory that motor neurone degenerative diseases are caused by abnormal lipid (fat) processing pathways inside brain cells.
A team led by Professor Andrew Crosby and Dr Emma Baple, University of Exeter, has developed a hypothesis to explain a common cause of motor neurone degenerative diseases (MNDs), stemming from their discovery of 15 genes responsible for different forms of MNDs. Click to read more.
