HOUSTON, Texas, Dec. 28 (TNSjou) -- The Baylor College of Medicine issued the following news:
Neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease result from the loss of specific types of neurons due to abnormal accumulation of mutant proteins. Although specific brain regions have been found to be particularly vulnerable in each of these disorders, the causes and exact mechanisms underlying this differential vulnerability of brain cells and regions to toxi . . .
