Yale scientists may have found how Parkinson's disease spreads through the brain

Yale scientists have identified two neuron surface proteins that contribute to the spread of the toxic protein associated with Parkinson's disease. These proteins appear to play a key role in the progression of the disease. Researchers found that blocking these proteins in mice significantly slowed disease progression, offering a promising new avenue for potential therapies. This breakthrough may lead to the development of new treatments for Parkinson's disease.
