Recently, Osaka University and other institutions in Japan announced that they have developed new drugs that can inhibit the accumulation of proteins related to Parkinson's disease, which have been confirmed to have the effect of improving the symptoms of Parkinson's disease in animal experiments Parkinson's disease is thought to be related to the abnormal accumulation of a protein called "α - synuclein" in the brain, so far there is no fundamental treatment Research teams from Osaka University and Tokyo Medical and Dental University have recently developed oligonucleotide drugs that inhibit the accumulation of "α - synuclein", which can bind to and block the synthesis of "α - synuclein" gene, thus inhibiting the accumulation of this protein The researchers found that the accumulation of "α - synuclein" in the Parkinson's disease model mice treated with the drug was inhibited, and the movement disorder was also improved The team said it looked forward to the research results and methods can become a landmark treatment for Parkinson's disease, and also look forward to its application in the treatment of other neurological diseases Relevant research results have been published in the British Journal scientific report.
