Default Parkinson’s disease power switch located

In a transformative new study, U.S. researchers have uncovered both the key cause and a promising treatment for Parkinson’s disease.

The degenerative movement disorder occurs when the tiny power plants that fuel afflicted brain cells are turned off, the Harvard University-led study has found.

This power outage may well be reversed by medications that throw a master switch gene controlling the energy-producing cell structures back on, the paper suggests.
