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 comprised 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.
