ADepTing to the UCB-Novartis deal
Alpha synuclein has long been viewed at “Public enemy #1” by the Parkinson’s research community. This sticky, abundant protein starts to cluster (or aggregate) in Parkinson’s. There have been several attempts to reduce levels of the protein floating around outside of cells (using “immunotherapy” approaches) But now clinical research is ramping […]

In Parkinson’s, alpha-synuclein, which is abundant in nerve cells, begins clumping together (or aggregating) and it is believed that this process could be toxic. This trial, it is hoped, will slow-down…
