Parkinson’s treatment may lie in template to make alpha-synuclein – Parkinson’s News Today

Posted: Published on January 19th, 2024

Scientists have developed a molecule that promotes the clearance of toxic clumps of the alpha-synuclein protein a hallmark of Parkinsons disease by targeting its template rather that the protein itself. We have found that targeting the RNA needed to build the toxic protein may be an optimal strategy to slowing or even stopping disease progression, Matthew Disney, PhD, chair of the chemistry department at the University of Floridas Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology and the studys lead author, said in a university social media release. The study, Decreasing the intrinsically disordered protein -synuclein levels by targeting its structured mRNA with a ribonuclease-targeting chimera, was published in the journal PNAS.
