Researchers at the University of Sydney have made another breakthrough in treating Parkinson’s disease. After years of research, they successfully targeted the SOD1 protein with a drug treatment in mice, showing a “dramatic” improvement in motor skills. The next challenge is to develop a safe and effective treatment for humans, paving the way for a potential therapy to slow down the progression of the disease.
