UTHealth Researchers Link Inflammatory Processes to Parkinson’s Disease Cause and Progression

A team of researchers from The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) have conducted a breakthrough study exploring the concept of inflammatory processes contributing to the occurrence and progression of Parkinson’s Disease (PD). By injecting a concentrated, single-dose inflammatory agent in an animal subject, the researchers discovered changes in brain tissue similar to those observed in the disease process of PD.

High disease rate among astronauts analyzed by University of Houston
