Increased Understanding Of Gene's Potentially Protective Role In Parkinson's
Treatments for Parkinson's disease, estimated to affect 1 million Americans, have yet to prove effective in slowing the progression of the debilitating disease. However, University of Alabama researchers have identified how a specific gene protects dopamine-producing neurons from dying in both animal models and in cultures of human neurons, according to a scientific article publishing in the Journal of Neuroscience. This increased understanding of the gene's neuro-protective capability is, the researchers said, another step toward the potential development of a new drug treatment...
