Parkinson's: New gene therapy shows promise for prevention.

[Abdiqani]

A new study hits on ground that PD can be found to treat using Gene therapy by targeting alpha-synuclein -the toxic aggregated protein which causes to disrupt Neuronal Circuit .

" Our results showed that gene therapy using alpha-synuclein-targeting ASOs is a promising strategy for the control and prevention of [Parkinson's disease]. We expect that in the future, this method will be used to not only successfully treat [Parkinson's disease], but also dementia caused by alpha-synuclein accumulation." Senior author Dr. Hideki Mochizuki .

Yet another "preliminary mouse study" (of the thousands that take place each year) may be of interest to someone with a favored pet rat. Maybe you could direct future rat study news to them(?).
