How protein fragments associated with Alzheimer's could trigger Parkinson's

Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases are different neurodegenerative conditions that can sometimes affect the same person, which has led scientists to investigate possible links between the two. Now one team, reporting in the journal ACS Chemical Neuroscience, has identified how amyloid beta, the protein fragment strongly associated with Alzheimer’s disease, can induce cellular changes that might lead to Parkinson’s.
