Parkinsons Disease Mechanism Identified

...ed their findings in the July 5, 2007 issue of the journal Neuron, published by Cell Press. The researchers studied the mechanism of PD using a mouse model of the disease, in which a mitochondria-affecting toxin called MPTP is used to produce Parkinsons-like brain pathology. In earlier studies, they had f...
