(Have we been wrong about the cause of Alzheimer's Disease?A newly discovered microprotein called SHMOOSE has been found in neurons and cerebrospinal fluid of Alzheimer’s patients. It is made from mitochondrial DNA (unlike nuclear DNA which is inherited from both parents, mitochondrial DNA is inherited from mother only).
Fascinating! For the newsletter I restrict my search to articles from the past week, but thanks so much for sharing. I must have missed that one when it came out.
