BREAKING.
Parkinson's disease has more active drug candidates than almost any neurological condition on earth.
In one system alone — just the protein that misfolds — there are 6 different classes of attack being tested in humans right now.
Add the lysosomal failure that feeds it, and you have:
→ Antibodies clearing toxic protein (Phase 2 and Phase 3)
→ Vaccines train your immune system to do it (Phase 1 and Phase 2)
→ Pills blocking the clumping at the source
→ Gene silencing cuts production before the protein is even made
→ A repurposed cough medicine in Phase 3
→ Gene therapy aiming for a one-shot, lifelong fix
This is Failure System 1 out of five.
Here's every major approach in human trials right now.

@Tyler_Polumbus Take the points, if not, RUN the ball for 1 foot! Don’t get cute when u have 2nd qb.Stiddy could have easily reached for first down. Stiddy proved why he is a back up. Court and LJH both forgot to look at the QB while running routes. Lutz should’ve made at least one of those.

Breaking news — Congress has passed The National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act! Passed unanimously by the U.S. Senate today, the bill now heads to President Biden’s desk to be signed into law. This is a historic milestone for the PD community, and we could not have done it without our grassroots advocates who sent over 70,000 messages to their members of Congress urging their support.
We’re also grateful to the 215 senators and representatives who championed this bill, especially its lead sponsors, Senators @SenCapito and @ChrisMurphyCT and Representatives @RepGusBilirakis and @RepPaulTonko. We also extend our thanks to Senate Majority Leader @SenSchumer and Representative @RepWexton.

19 years ago I lived in South Korea. It remains one of my life’s greatest experiences. I always felt a deep connection with this country. Today I am proud to return as part of a campaign to end whale captivity. This is Bella, a solitary beluga living in a mall. We must save her.
