How a very sociable protein can hold clues about Alzheimer s origin
An international team of scientists led by the ESRF, the European Synchrotron, have found how the ECSIT protein dictates the behaviour of proteins linked to the energy activity in mitochondria, which is largely affected in Alzheimer s disease. Their results are published today in
Angewandte Chemie.
The origin of the most prevalent form of Alzheimer s disease, which accounts for 95% of cases, is still not clear despite decades of scientific studies. Before understanding the pathology, we need to understand the biology , explains Montse Soler López, scientist leading research on Alzheimer s disease at the ESRF. The only thing we are sure about is that the most common form of Alzheimer s is linked with ageing , she assert
