Researchers WEHI and Duke-NUS Medical School have uncovered another important role of protein MCL-1: it keeps hair growing!

A finding that could pave the way for new treatments for alopecia, hair loss.

Read the study in Nature Communications: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Congratulations Alisa, this is a great outcome for science 🎉

Such a beautiful structure congratulations to everyone involved!

Scientists solve decades-long Parkinson’s mystery WEHI researchers have made a huge leap forward in the fight against Parkinson’s disease, solving a decades-long mystery that paves the way for development of new drugs to treat the condition.

World-first: researchers have discovered what protein #PINK1 looks like in humans and how it is activated, solving a decades-long mystery in the fight against #Parkinsonsdisease. The team hope to use the knowledge to find a drug to stop #Parkinsons.
