An international team of researchers led by scientists at Johns Hopkins University, School of Medicine, have screened a large library of drugs to find farnesol that inhibits PARIS, a protein that increases in patients with Parkinson’s disease. The authors showed farnesylation of PARIS prevented the build up of damaging reactive oxygen species and prevented the loss of dopamine-releasing neurons…
