Targeting the LRRK2 G2019S Mutation Found in Parkinson's Disease: Efficiency of Biosynthesized Solid Lipid Nanoparticles for Therapeutic siRNA-Mediated Gene Therapy.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with which the leucine-Rich repeat kinase 2 glycine 2019 serine (LRRK2 G2019S) mutation is strongly associated. This mutation elevates kinase activity, disrupts mitochondrial function, increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and impairs DNA repair mechanisms, all of which contribute to the pathogenesis of PD. Thus,...
