“Amazing” results: blocking an enzyme brings back cells damaged by Parkinson to life

In a revolutionary study, scientists found that the silence of a single hyperactive enzyme in the brain reversed the early damage caused by a mutation linked to Parkinson in mice. Treatment has restored the capacity of brain cells to communicate, to straighten the tiny cellular “antennas” and to rekindle a crucial protective signaling system for the survival of neurons. After only three months of enzymatic inhibition, […]
