Korean scientist finds enzymatic mechanism for cure of Parkinson's disease
A research team led by a Korean scientist in the U.S. has found enzymatic activities that cause neuropsychosis, opening the way for treatment of diseases such as depression and Parkinson's.
Lee Min-gyu, researcher of Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, said on Monday (Sept. 19) that his team discovered that an enzyme called "BHC110" combines with certain protein complexes and represses the expression of genes related to nerves.
