Researchers have discovered how a cell surface protein called Aplp1 can play a role in spreading material responsible for  Parkinson's disease from cell-to-cell in the brain.
Promisingly, an FDA-approved  cancer drug that targets another protein called Lag3 – which interacts with Aplp1 – blocks the spread in mice, suggesting a potential therapy may already exist.



					
			

In a new paper, an international team of scientists describes how the two proteins work together to help harmful alpha-synuclein protein clumps get into brain cells.

Most of us who engage in heavy alcohol use do so to self-medicate. And we self-medicate because we don’t know how to feel, process, and sit with our uncomfortable emotions. There are many ways to avoid uncomfortable feelings; heavy alcohol use is just one way (among many) to numb out, avoid, or escape. A lot of us who have abused alcohol, myself included, do so to regulate our emotions, or we think we are regulating our emotions through self-medication.

A Signal of Future Alzheimer's May Be Hidden in The Way You Speak

A woman in Colombia with rare genetic resistance to Alzheimer's disease may have more company than scientists thought. Family members with just a single copy of her version of a particular gene – what's known as the Christchurch variant of apolipoprotein E (APOE) – seem to also be protected against genetically determined early-onset dementia, researchers say, albeit to a far lesser extent.

One of the most consumed drugs in the US – and the most commonly taken analgesic worldwide – may do a lot more than simply take the edge off your headache. Acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol and sold widely under the brand names Tylenol and Panadol, may also increase risk-taking, according to a study from 2020 that measured changes in people's behavior when under the influence of the common over-the-counter medication.

Every now and again, serendipity gives us a unique window into times long past.
An explosive volcanic eruption that took place in prehistory is one of them. As the ash from a pyroclastic flow during the Cambrian age was dumped on a shallow marine environment, its population of ancient arthropods called trilobites were preserved almost instantly – including any soft tissues that are normally degraded or destroyed during other fossilization processes.



					
			

Now, hundreds of millions of years later, those unfortunate animals have given us an unprecedented record of their three-dimensional anatomy, along with any smaller creatures that happened to be clinging to...
