Virtual Team Parkinson's Research: Proteins

We now have 10 members.  This week we looked at a study concerning the injection of proteins into the brains of mice.  These proteins form clumps in the brain which are associated with PD and related symptoms.  What researchers are unclear of is why these clumps develop, but this study may lead to the development of new medications to fight the spread and proliferation of these proteins and PD.

Team Captain Dr. Jack Harless
