Scientists solve decades-long Parkinson’s mystery
WEHI researchers have made a huge leap forward in the fight against Parkinson’s disease, solving a decades-long mystery that paves the way for development of new drugs to treat the condition.
World-first: researchers have discovered what protein #PINK1 looks like in humans and how it is activated, solving a decades-long mystery in the fight against #Parkinsonsdisease. The team hope to use the knowledge to find a drug to stop #Parkinsons.
