Toxic Proteins Related to Parkinson’s Disease Blocked By Natural Human Molecules

Scientists at the UAB and the UniZar have detected a human peptide located in the brain that prevents the α-synuclein aggregates associated with Parkinson's disease and helps prevent their neurotoxicity. The research released in Nature Communications suggests that this may be one of the organism's natural systems to combat aggregation. The learning might help...
