Molecule Delivered in Small Fatty Vesicles May Be Potential Parkinson’s Therapy, Mouse Study Shows
Delivering an alpha-synuclein-targeting molecule, called ASO4, in tiny fatty vesicles reduced toxic alpha-synuclein clumps and dopaminergic neuron loss — two main hallmarks of Parkinson’s disease — and lessened motor impairments in a mouse model of the disease. Results of the study add to previous findings suggesting that these…
