While there is no way to treat Parkinson's, the upcoming experimental experiment will give hope to More than 10 million people Living with abnormalities that progress may be on the horizon.
The research team led by scientists from the University of Cambridge is planning to develop a new child of the burial of a small brain cell to treat Parkinson's disease. This method according to the details in the university. statement Since January 23, the aim is to repair the damaged nervous paths that have been damaged by aggressive diseases and will be tested with animals first.
“Our ultimate goal is to create accurate brain treatment, which can restore normal brain operations in people with Parkinson.” Georing from Cambridge University, which will be the project leader along with Research Cambridge Roger Barger said in a statement.
Parkinson's disease It is a nervous system disorders caused by the breakdown and death of the nerve cells in the brain, especially those who produce Dopamine. Dapamine levels are reduced to interfere with normal brain function, resulting in motor control and causing movement problems. Scientists do not know what is the cause of the disease and the current way has no treatment. While the drug that uses Dapamine is effective in the early treatment. They often lead to important and unwanted side effects over time.
Scientists have bones Find treatment For Parkinson's disease for over centuries Researchers are surveying Treatment by changing cells It is a potential treatment, which replaces the dead dopamine cells with new cells. However, these methods fail to combine cells that are fully transplanted into the nervous system of the brain.
The Malliaras and Barker team hoping to solve this problem by developing transplantation made from Organoids Midbrain -a small brain cell. As well as the treatment with the substitute for the researcher's cell, plan to transplant these organs into the brain. Then they will use “Advanced materials and electrical stimulation” to support the connection of cells that were transformed to the nervous system and the recovery of the missing nervous path.
“To the present, there is a slightly serious investment in the bone in the method that connects the human brain precisely, in addition to the 'Force Force' or a very invasive transplant.” Jacques Carolan, the director of Advanced Research + Invention Agency ( Aria) said ARIA is a British research and development agency that supports Parkinson's embedded project. “We are showing that it is possible to develop elegant methods to understand and maintain an offense. Normally, the most complex and destruction of the brain Finally, this can affect changes for people with brain experience.
It still sees that the team will develop artificial tooth when the project is officially started. Hopefully within a few years – or maybe a month – we will report about the success of the first animal experiment.
