Cell protein discovery points to healthier ageing

Cell protein discovery

Cell protein discovery points to healthier ageing: Researchers at The University of Queensland have found an anti-ageing function in a protein deep within human cells. Associate Professor Steven Zuryn and Dr Michael Dai at the Queensland Brain Institute have discovered that a protein called ATSF-1 controls a fine balance between the creation of new mitochondria […]

Neurodegenerative disease genetic discovery

neurodegenerative disease

Neurodegenerative disease genetic discovery: A ‘perfect storm’ of genetic mutations, toxic proteins and a defect in natural cell recycling has been uncovered in University of Queensland research that could lead to treatments for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Researchers have found brain cells are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of the triple threat, […]
