Alpha-synuclein: Stopping the Sticky Protein behind Parkinson's

Alpha-synuclein: Stopping the Sticky Protein behind Parkinson's

Thursday, November 17, 12 to 1 p.m. ET   Nearly everyone with Parkinson's has clumps of the protein alpha-synuclein in brain cells, which researchers believe may lead to disease symptoms and progression. Our panelists will discuss clinical trials of therapies to prevent or treat those clumps and protect cells, as well as what we know about this key protein.   Q & A with participants will follow the discussion.
