"Investigators have pinpointed a molecular defect that seems almost universal among patients with Parkinson's disease and those at a high risk of acquiring it......The scientists also identified a compound that appears to reverse the defect in cells taken from Parkinson's patients. In animal models of the disease, the compound prevented the death of the neurons whose loss underlies the disease."

Most interesting article. A ray of Hope. Too late for me but not for many new Parkinson's people. I really hope something's going to happen so this can be developed.

These articles allow me to see my problem so much more clearly now.

I was born 10 years too soon.

Very interesting and I like how it was explained for us laymen by illustrations that made perfect sense. Sounds promising in the future...maybe not back to the future but nothing's perfect.

Thanks for sharing this! I'm sure I read this when you first posted it, but I somehow found this post again and was filled with some much needed hope. I just wish the pace of research could be expedited.
