New method reveals how the Parkinson's disease protein damages cell membranes
The method makes it possible to study tiny quantities of biological molecules without using fluorescent markers

In sufferers of Parkinson's disease, clumps of α-synuclein (alpha-synuclein), sometimes known as the 'Parkinson's protein', are found in the brain. These destroy cell membranes, eventually resulting in cell death. Now, a new method developed at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, reveals ...
