Synergistic interaction enhances pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease

Scientists have identified a synergistic interaction that disrupts normal intracellular transport mechanisms and leads to the accumulation of neuron-damaging clumps of protein associated with Parkinson's disease (PD), a neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by a specific loss of neurons in the midbrain and brainstem. The research identifies a new potential therapeutic option for preventing PD-associated neuropathology.
