Oldest dog DNA in world discovered – domestication potentially earlier than thought Researchers have discovered the oldest dogs in the world at two Upper Paleolithic sites, which are 5,000 years older than the previous earliest genetic evidence of dogs.

🐕 Ancient DNA reveals new clues about the origins of #dogs:
An international team led by #LMUMunich, the National History Museum London & @ox.ac.uk has uncovered the oldest genetic evidence of dogs. The findings suggest that dogs were #domesticated thousands of years earlier than previously thought.

Dysfunctional packaging of dopamine advances symptoms of Parkinson’s disease A new study shows how dysfunctional packaging of the neurotransmitter dopamine triggers toxic processes in neurons – and how this can be repaired with simple delivery of energy (ATP).

Impaired dopamine packaging advances Parkinson’s disease.
LMU-Researchers show that ATP deficiency disrupts VMAT2-mediated vesicular sequestration, leading to dopamine oxidation and α-synuclein accumulation. ATP restored packaging and prevented neuronal damage in iPSC-derived neurons. #LMUMunich
