Reply to comment by hippydog2 in Researchers have found that a Parkinson’s-linked mutation in a gene called Endophilin A1 blocks the process by which the body and the brain recycle cell waste. Without the process, autophagy, toxic debris builds up and neurons die. This discovery could change the focus of Parkinson's treatments. by QldBrainInst

Let’s wait until the results have been replicated. Parkinson’s research got majorly burned by that somewhat recently.

edit: got it wrong

Parkinson's too? I thought it was Alzheimer's.

Ah crap you’re totally right, I got them mixed up. I guess I’ll blame it on Alzheimer’s, if only fake research had cured it by now.
