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.
"Now that we know how Aplp1 and Lag3 interact, we have a new way of understanding how alpha-synuclein contributes to...

For all women, estrogen is essential for sustaining the hair growth phase and boosting hair density on the scalp. But owing in large part to genetics, the follicles of some women are particularly dependent on the hormone, says endocrinologist Geoffrey Redmond, MD. This means even slight declines can set off shedding. And for women whose follicles rely heavily on estrogen, problems tend to crop up around perimenopause, when the hormone breaks its predictable monthly pattern and begins a downward trend.
