Default Research finds way to restore BBB in Parkinsons's and MS.
At last several papers publshed on the role of the BBB in neurodegenerative diseases, including PD.
A protein named ANXAI was found to restore the key cellular features needed to reinstate the integrity of the BBB. In mice, administering
the protein reversed the permeability of the BBB in 24 hours.
See http://www.google.com/support/websea...hgAQOfV_IUFSAE
The research was carried out by Barts and the London School of Medicine.
For those who hav e not followed this story, see
http://blog.oup.com/2009/03/what-cau...nsons-disease/
then scroll down to the BBB article.

Reserve a ticket now for the dance!!!
