Are altered Gap junction proteins responsible for Parkinson?
Wednesday, 15 June 2016 14:01During her Ph. D. work at the University of Twente, Department of Applied Analysis and Biomedical Signal & System, Bettina Schwab has discovered an increased concentration of a particular protein, called connexin-36, in deceased Parkinson's patients. The protein could be the cause of a disturbed communication between brain cells, which causes movement problems in the Parkinson's disease, as is said in a current press release from the University of Trente.
