Boosting Protective Protein Curbs Parkinson’s Buildup, Extends Mouse Lifespan

Researchers report that increasing a protective protein suppresses alpha-synuclein buildup linked to Parkinson’s disease, more than doubling lifespan in a mouse model. The findings, reported by Medical Xpress, highlight a potential therapeutic strategy that warrants further study in humans.
