Melbourne-based researchers at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) at the Parkinson's Disease Research Centre have ...

First discovered more than 20 years ago, PINK1 is a protein directly linked to Parkinson’s disease, but until now, no one has seen what human PINK1 looks like, or how PINK1 attaches to ...

When that PINK1 protein mutates, broken mitochondria stay in the cell. This mutation, and the resulting build-up of damaged mitochondria, has now been linked to Parkinson’s. PINK1 has therefore ...

WEHI researchers have made a huge leap forward in the fight against Parkinson's disease, solving a decades-long mystery that paves the way for development of new drugs to treat the condition. First ...
