A team from the Francis Crick Institute, UCL and Cambridge University has been awarded $7.7million to identify the genetic and biological factors that cause Parkinson’s disease.
The team, co-led by Sonia Gandhi, Group Leader of the Crick’s Neurodegeneration Biology laboratory, has received the grant from ASAP (Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s). This global research initiative funds teams that are working on understanding the basic mechanisms that contribute to the development and progression of Parkinson’s disease.
By using advanced imaging methods to look for single molecules, or oligomers, in the brain as indicators of early onset of the disease, the researchers aim to build a map of the cells first affected and the conditions progression. By looking at all the genes expressed in those specific cells, they will build a model that shows how genetic factors affect pathways that cause Parkinson’s. The aim is to then modify these gene

Seeing our world through the eyes of a migratory bird would be a rather spooky experience. Something about their visual system allows them to see our planet s magnetic field, a clever trick of quantum physics, and biochemistry that helps them navigate vast distances.
Now, for the first time ever, scientists from the University of Tokyo have directly observed a key reaction hypothesised to be behind birds , and many other creatures , talents for sensing the direction of the planet s poles.
Importantly, this is evidence of quantum physics directly affecting a biochemical reaction in a cell – something we ve long hypothesised but haven t seen in action before.
