Research reveals involvement of secretory granules in Parkinson’s disease

Recent research states that the number of secretory granules (SGs) in tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurons and the marker proteins secretogranin III substantially lowered in the substantia nigra and striatum regions of mice exposed to 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine.

Researchers identify a potential biomarker of aging

The skin is the only organ that shows age more profoundly. While researchers have hypothesized about the ravages of time on skin and also the epidermal stem cells that undergo differentiation to restore the external layer of the skin, no suitable method is available to assess their aging at the molecular level.
