科学家发现了PINK1的结构 一种与帕金森病相关的蛋白质 这可能导致新的治疗 Scientists have uncovered the structure of PINK1, a protein linked to Parkinson's disease, which could lead to new treatments. PINK1帮助清除细胞中受损的mitocondria, 但在帕金森病人的 PINK1突变中, 这个功能失效, 导致细胞死亡。 PINK1 helps remove damaged mitochondria in cells, but in Parkinson's patients with a PINK1 mutation, this function fails, leading to cell death. 这一发现公布在《科学》上,可能有助于研制药物,以减缓或阻止PINK1突变患者的疾病。 This discovery, published in Science, may help develop drugs to slow or halt the disease in those with a PINK1 mutation.
