In summary, NSO group put together a package chaining together three zero-days in Safari and iOS to jailbreak a phone from a crafted webpage and sold it to probably the UAE, who then used it to target a political dissident known for human rights work.

Yale researchers have identified a key role for the VPS13C protein in lipid transport, with its deficiency linked to neuroinflammation in Parkinson’s disease. Although the development of Parkinson’s disease has been closely linked to variants of at least 20 different genes, scientists are still inve...

Results published on March 11, 2021, show it is possible to identify Parkinson’s Disease based on compounds found on the surface of skin. The findings offer hope that a pioneering new test could be developed to diagnose the degenerative condition through a simple and painless skin swab. Scientists a...

PINK1 gene defects reduce dopamine neuron generation, offering a new target for Parkinson’s therapies focused on neurogenesis. A pioneering study, published in Scientific Reports, found that the Parkinon’s gene PINK1 is important for the generation of dopamine-producing neurons throughout...

Scientists make pivotal discovery of method for wireless modulation of neurons with X-rays that could improve the lives of patients with brain disorders. The X-ray source only requires a machine like that found in a dentist’s office. Many people worldwide suffer from movement-related brain disorders...

Atomically thin device developed by scientists at Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley could turn your smartphone into a supersmart gas sensor. Nitrogen dioxide, an air pollutant emitted by fossil fuel-powered cars and gas-burning stoves is not only bad for the climate – it’s bad for our health. Long-term e...

Scientists find evidence that antibody-based treatments in clinical trials for neurodegenerative diseases may trigger an inflammatory response in human brain immune cells, eroding their positive effects. A team led by scientists at Scripps Research has made a discovery suggesting that experimental a...

Researchers identified the structure of mixed protein aggregates in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s using novel microscopy, potentially uncovering why the diseases co-occur. Alzheimer’s disease – also called dementia – where memory and cognitive functions gradually decline due to deformation and death o...

NASA’s study of a Ryugu sample may unlock secrets of how our solar system began. NASA recently received its first sample of asteroid Ryugu, which was returned to Earth last December by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (JAXA) Hayabusa2 spacecraft. This is one of the first samples to leave Jap...

A natural human peptide, LL-37, could be key to halting Parkinson’s disease by neutralizing its most toxic protein forms. Researchers at the UAB and the UniZar have identified a human peptide found in the brain that blocks the α-synuclein aggregates involved in Parkinson’s disease and prevents...

Conquering a chemical challenge to control the structure of a polymer opens a path to better biosensors. A new organic (carbon-based) semiconducting material has been developed that outperforms existing options for building the next generation of biosensors. An international research team led by KAU...

Enzyme with central role in cancer and type 2 diabetes also activates “clean-up” protein in Parkinson’s. When cells are stressed, chemical alarms go off, setting in motion a flurry of activity that protects the cell’s most important players. During the rush, a protein called Parkin...

Novel approach finds targets for future clinical trials in depression and Parkinson’s disease. Researchers have made significant advancements in correlating aberrations in specific brain circuits with neuropsychiatric conditions like depression. However, it remains difficult to prove that dama...

Scientists obtained substances that provide a breakthrough in the treatment of neurodegenerative pathologies. Russian scientists have synthesized chemical compounds that can stop the degeneration of neurons in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other severe brain pathologies. These substances...
