The researchers could show that Parkin prevents the induction of neuronal cell death. As published in the “Journal of Neuroscience”, the protein activates a survival mechanism which had been known for its prominent role in immune response. Usually, Parkinson’s disease occurs after the age of 50 and in Gera number of about 400,000 people are affected. Typically it is characterized by a decline of neurons in the so-called Substantia Nigra, a structure in the midbrain that produces dopamine. The resulting deprivation of this messenger substance causes symptoms like muscular tremor at rest and restricted mobility and even complete immobility. Characteristic deposits are found in the brain, the Lewy corpuscles……..
