Scientists from the Sheffield Institute of Translational Neuroscience (SITraN) and the MRC Centre for Developmental and Biomedical Genetics (CDBG), both University of Sheffield, found that by blocking the protein, nerve cells usually lost in the progression of Parkinson's could be saved – potentially halting the spread of the condition.
The ground breaking research, published in Annals of Neurology, was conducted by Dr Oliver Bandmann and his team who looked at the cell death of dopamine-producing nerve cells in zebrafish with a mutation in a gene called PINK1. http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/news/nr/n...nsons-1.330881 |
