Scientists Develop New System to Better Manage Medication Delivery

Scientists have developed a new system that can provide a controlled and sustained release of parkinsonian medications, thus enabling better management of Parkinson’s disease. The mechanisms behind this delivery system were described in the study, “Multi-Drug-Loaded Microcapsules with Controlled Release for Management of Parkinson’s Disease,” published in the…

Synthetic 3D Protein Structures That Better Replicate Nature Could Help Investigate Parkinson’s, Study Suggests

Synthetic 3D protein structures that better mimic those in nature, but are simpler, could help scientists investigate several disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, a study indicates. The research, “Supramolecular Multiblock Copolymers Featuring Complex Secondary Structures,” appeared in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Dr. Marcus…
