•Study identifies potential new drug for Parkinson's-related cognitive decline, dementia
78% Informative
A study by researchers at the University of Arizona Health Sciences found that a tiny protein called PNA5 appears to have a protective effect on brain cells.
Parkinson's disease, a neurological disorder, also causes cognitive symptoms that can progress to Parkinson's dementia.
There are medications that control the disease's motor symptoms, but there are no effective treatments for its cognitive symptoms.
The angiotensin ( 17 ) glycopeptide PNA5 improves cognition in a chronic progressive mouse model of Parkinson's disease through modulation of neuroinflammation.
"PNA5 seems to have a possibility of stopping or delaying Parkinson's progression to some extent," Lalitha Madhavan said.
