The Parkinson's disease gene DJ-1 is also a key regulator of stroke-induced damage
14 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
Recent evidence has indicated that common mechanisms play roles among multiple neurological diseases. However, the specifics of these pathways are not completely understood. Stroke is caused by the interruption of blood flow to the brain, and cumulative evidence supports the critical role of oxidative stress in the ensuing neuronal death process. DJ-1 (PARK7) has been identified as the gene linked to early-onset...
