Keeping Neurons Alive!
An upcoming clinical trial will attempt to solve problems that have plagued one potentially promising Parkinson’s disease (PD) treatment.

A pending clinical trial has researchers at University of California San Francisco (UCSF) hopeful about evolving the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. If the study receives final FDA-approval, human subjects will receive experimental gene therapy using glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), a protein that helps keep neurons alive.
