For those folks who don't want to wait years for clinical trials, maybe this could be self hacked

There's a new promise of hope every day but after all these years we never see them delivered. Makes me so sad

Thanks for posting this is a momentous finding for PD Research. A real ball breaker.

From a recent SoPD blog post from Simon:

"Researchers report that striatal Nurr1 levels facilitates the dyskinetic state & exacerbates L-dopa-induced dyskinesia in rodent models of Parkinson’s (even LID-resistant Lewis rats!). They also provide post-mortem evidence of Nurr1 expression in striatal neurons of L-DOPA treated PD patients. A re-think required on nurr1 as a neuroprotective target for Parkinson’s?"
