Discovered two types of genes that treat Parkinson's disease

A group of Korean scientists said they have found two genes related to Parkinson's disease and hope the discovery will be a key factor to help them successfully produce drugs to treat the disease.

These two genes lack neurotransmitters by destroying the components of motor cells and transmitters in neurons.

At the same time, Korean scientists also found cells that produce dead nerve transmitters - the main cause of Parkinson's disease. But so far they have not found the cause of these cells to die.

Professor Jongkyeong Chung, leading the research team at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology, said the breakthrough will lead to a revolution in treating Parkinson's disease.

The results were tested by his research team similar to human genes and obtained the same results as experiments with the fruit fly.

After discovering the main cause of this unit, Korean scientists are conducting research

Research on improving drugs used to treat Parkinson's disease on the market today into a drug used to treat Parkinson's disease next year.

From the test of this discovery, Korean scientists have discovered a drug on the market that can be used as a treatment for Parkinson's disease. At the same time, Korean scientists are trying to improve this existing drug into a drug to treat Parkinson's disease in the coming year.

It is estimated that there are about 5 million people in the world with Parkinson's disease - a common brain degenerative disorder after mental illness.

The discovery success of Korean scientists was published online in the journal Nature - British Journal of Scientific Issues Review.
