British researchers have recently explored a new method for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. This method has been shown to be effective in animal experiments. If it can pass human clinical trials, it is expected to be used for the treatment of other neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
In a new issue of the Journal of Experimental Medicine, researchers at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom reported that abnormal function of mitochondria in brain nerve cells is an important cause of Parkinson's disease. In order to protect the function of mitochondria, they thought of learning from viruses. .
Although the virus is the enemy of the human body, after they invade human cells, in order to have sufficient time to use the resources of human cells to copy from me, we will try to protect the function of the mitochondria as a cell energy factory and let the mitochondria work for a while. In the process, the virus that guides the protection of mitochondria is a gene called Beta 2.7.
So the researchers tried to put this gene into the brain of mice with Parkinson's disease. The results showed that the mitochondria of nerve cells were also protected and Parkinson's disease was effectively treated. Another benefit of this method is that the vector used to carry this gene is a special kind of protein that can pass through the boundary between the blood vessel and the brain's nervous system. Therefore, this treatment method requires only blood injection and avoids the brain. Invasive treatment.
Prof. John Sinclair, who led the research, said that the results of the study demonstrate in principle the effectiveness of this method for Parkinson's disease. Next, human clinical trials will be conducted to explore the dose and frequency needed to treat human patients. .
Parkinson's disease is a neurological disease that is commonly seen in the elderly. The main symptoms are tremors, slow movements, and muscle stiffness.
