New molecules targeting c-Abl protein ... I truely believe this is the real neuroprotective hope for PD. You don't even need to do trials on humans to proof this.

Very interesting and promising, even though I realize that in past people have been very optimistic with their predictions. But now I do have the feeling that scientist are understanding the mechanisms in PD and AD better and therefore designing medication with more prospects.
