Published in the prestigious journal Nature Communications
and funded by the Wellcome Trust, University of Bath researchers looked
closely at the structure of 11 mutated angiogenin proteins, and how
changes in their structure influenced activity, function and survival in
motor neurones.Dr Brian Dickie, Director of Research at the Association, said “The
researchers at the University of Bath have skilfully combined aspects
of biology, chemistry and physics to answer some fundamental questions
on how angiogenin can damage motor neurones. It not only advances our
understanding of the disease, but may also give rise to new ideas on
treatment development.”
