New Role for PINK1 Offers Clues about Parkinson's Pathology

RESEARCH NEWS 2014-03-28 Research News Researchers have zeroed in on a mechanism that may promote the earliest stages of mitochondrial decline in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Mutations that hinder the kinase activity of the mitochondria-associated protein PINK1 trigger the derailmen
