Chinese Medicine Restores Neurons, Movement in Zebrafish Model

Treatment with an herbal preparation called Tongtian oral liquid, long used in traditional Chinese medicine, helped to prevent nervous system damage and normalize movement in a zebrafish model of Parkinson’s. Scientists in China reported these findings in the study, “Neuroprotective effects of Tongtian oral liquid, a…

Parkinson’s Mutation Causes Impaired Neuron Growth Throughout Life

Dopamine-producing neurons in the brain grow throughout life, but this growth is hindered by a genetic mutation that is associated with the development of Parkinson’s disease, a new study demonstrates. The researchers hope these findings will lead scientists to “focus on enhancing the generation of new dopamine-producing neurons, rather…
