Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a debilitating neurological disease with no cure. Recently it has been discovered that the disease can spread through the brain. We have developed the worlds first animal model to study exactly how the disease propagates inside of neurons during this spread. We will use the model to answer key questions about this critical stage of disease spread, knowledge that is essential for the development of successful therapies to prevent disease progression.

帕金森病(PD)是一种无法治愈的衰弱神经疾病。最近发现，这种疾病可以通过大脑传播。我们开发了世界上第一个动物模型，以准确研究疾病在这种传播过程中如何在神经元内传播。我们将使用该模型来回答有关疾病传播的这一关键阶段的关键问题，这些知识对于开发成功的治疗方法以防止疾病进展至关重要。
