A University of Connecticut scientist has reportedly identified a key mechanism in Parkinson’s disease research.

UConn Health, a branch of the university, said Tuesday that assistant professor of neuroscience Yulan Xiong and her team had discovered a regulator compound which holds the potential to treat the brain disorder.

FILE - Campus in the Towers Residence Halls at the University of Connecticut on August 14, 2020, in Storrs, Connecticut. Xiong and PhD student Qinfang Liu found that the enzyme was regulating the gene at the Messenger RNA level – mRNA is genetic material that tells your body how to make proteins – rather than at the protein level.

The researchers looked at the enzyme in human neural cells – any type of nerve cell – and in fruit fly and mouse models.
