Tiny Channels Provide a Route for Pathological Proteins' Spread

[Farooqji]

Tiny channels between nerve cells are involved in a newly discovered mechanism of how Parkinson's disease can spread throughout the brain, according to new research from Linköping University, Sweden. The results demonstrate that harmful protein aggregates, or deposits, can bind and "hitch a lift" with channel-forming proteins, and in this way spread to healthy cells. The study has been published in Acta Neuropathologica.

hopefully it will help understand how it can be reversed and or stopped. Thanks for the post

The study is openly accessible. Very, very important!
