Discovery may point to Parkinson's disease therapies
Credit: University of Guelph A new discovery by University of Guelph researchers may ultimately help in devising new therapies and improving quality of life for people with Parkinson's disease. By showing how entangled proteins in brain cells enable the neurodegenerative disease to spread, the researchers hope their findings will lead to drugs that halt its progression, said PhD candidate Morgan Stykel, first author of a paper published this month in Cell Reports. Parkinson's disease is the world's fastest-growing neurodegenerative disease and Canada has some of the world's highest rates, ac...
