<p>A so-called pathological protein long associated with Parkinson’s disease has been found in a new study to trigger cells to increase protein synthesis, an event that eventually kills the subset of brain cells that die off in this neurodegenerative condition. Researchers from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine who conducted the study say the findings offer potential new targets for treating Parkinson’s disease, which affects about <a href="https://www.ninds.nih.gov/current-research/focus-disorders/parkinsons-disease-research/parkinsons-disease-challenges-progress-and-promise#:~:text=Approximately%20500%2C000%20Americans%20are%20diagnosed,1%20million%20Americans%20have%20PD.">1% of the U.S. population over age 60</a> and has no cure.</p>
