Parkinson’s Disease Might Find Potential Treatment in These Designer Neurons
A new research suggests potential treatment for Parkinson's disease which involves non-neuronal cells and their transformation. Once they change into neurons, they can stay in the brain and do the regular functions like linking to other nerve cells making the neural tissue, forming synapses, and dispensing dopamine. These cells would help repair th...
