Yale scientists may have found how Parkinson's disease spreads through the brain
SMRTR summary
Yale researchers identified two proteins, mGluR4 and NPDC1, that act as transporters carrying Parkinson's toxic α-synuclein protein into healthy brain cells. Mice engineered without these proteins avoided disease progression, suggesting that blocking them could slow or stop Parkinson's rather than just managing symptoms.
