Three Brain Diseases Linked By Toxic Form Of Same Neural Protein
Medical News Today, Article Date: 03 Feb 2010 - 2:00 PST Full content: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/177984.php For the first time, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have found that three different degenerative brain disorders are linked by a toxic form of the same protein. The protein, called Elk-1, was found in clumps of misshaped proteins that are the hallmarks of Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and Huntington's disease.
