Our understanding of the complex biological mechanisms involved in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases has increased tremendously in recent years. Researchers have gained new insights into the role that proteins like beta-amyloid and tau play in the development and progression of Alzheimer’s disease. For Parkinson’s disease, abnormal...
Promise of Gene Therapy
Gene therapy involves delivery of therapeutic genes into target cells of the body to compensate for abnormal genes or treat a disease. For CNS disorders, gene therapy aims to deliver normal genes into neural cells of the brain and spinal cord to address the underlying cause or provide supportive factors. Several gene therapy approaches are showing promise....
