Neuronal Parkinson inclusions are different than expected
(PHYSorg.com Medicine & Health)

An international team of researchers involving members of the University of Basel`s Biozentrum challenges the conventional understanding of the cause of Parkinson`s disease. The researchers have shown that the inclusions in the brain`s neurons, characteristic of Parkinson`s disease, are composed of a membranous medley rather than protein fibrils. The recently published study in Nature Neuroscience raises new questions about the etiology of Parkinson`s disease.
