Parkinson's disease stopped in animal model: Molecular 'tweezers' break up toxic aggregations of proteins

Parkinson's disease stopped in animal model: Molecular 'tweezers' break up toxic aggregations of proteins: Researchers have used specific molecular “tweezers” they developed to break-up aggregates of toxic proteins that are thought to cause Parkinson’s disease. For the first time, they stopped progression of the disease in a living animal model.
