New discoveries place lack of energy at the basis of Parkinson's Disease

Neuroscientists Vanessa Mora�s and Bart De Strooper from VIB and KU Leuven have demonstrated how a defect in the gene Pink1 results in Parkinson's disease. By mapping this process at a molecular level, they have provided the ultimate proof that a deficient energy production process in cells can result in Parkinson's disease. These insights are so revolutionary that they have been published in the leading journal Science.Vanessa Mora�s (VIB/KU Leuven): "Having Parkinson's disease means that you can no longer tell your own body what to do.
