The study covered in this summary was published in ResearchSquare.com as a preprint and has not yet been peer reviewed. Key Takeaways miR-1976 is a possible new biomarker of Parkinson’s disease. Development of Parkinson’s disease may be affected by PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1), which was found to possibly be a target of miR-1976. Why This Matters Currently, diagnosis of Parkinson’s […]

A team of researchers from the University of Washington’s Department of Global Health and the Resolve to Save Lives project, working with colleagues from the World Health Organization and Nanjing Medical University, is proposing an 80-80-80 target as a national hypertension policy after analyzing and modeling the results of population blood pressure controls. In their paper published in the journal […]
