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

It's research seeking to confirm a hypothesis. It needs to be replicated in mammalian cell line and then in an animal model. Drug development and clinical trials therafter. Bench to bedside in 15-20 years. Hard to say if is a breakthrough before that...ask the Alzheimers researchers.
