Hi All, I believe this short ITEM is the one referred to.... Web Posted - Oct 4 2001 10:42 PM EDT Parkinson's Disease research breakthrough in Saskatoon SASKATOON - Scientists in Saskatoon say they've made a breakthrough in research into Parkinson's Disease. They hope their discovery will help them find ways to slow down the condition and then, eventually, to cure it. Dr. Ali Rajput is a member of the research team. Rajput says they've found a new compound in the brain of Parkinson's Disease patients. They've also found that the highest concentration of the compound is in the areas of the brain which are most affected by the disease. The scientists hope they can use the discovery to develop a blood test for early detection. A cure could follow. The research team plans to explore these findings further during a five-year-long clinical study.
