Scientists at the University of Dundee have made significant progress in understanding how a particular molecular switch protects the brain from Parkinson’s disease.
By uncovering the mechanisms that activate the protective PINK1 enzyme, scientists have opened new pathways for potential treatments to slow or stop the progression of this debilitating condition.
The research primarily used yeast cells to model human PINK1 activation.
Yeast provides a convenient and powerful system for genetic analysis, but it is not identical to human cells.
Further studies in mammalian systems are necessary to confirm these findings and translate them into clinical applications, the researchers said.
