Inhibition of LKKR2 may rescue neurons that are dying due to a type of Parkinson’s disease that is caused by a single genetic mutation.

The results of experiments in mice models were "astounding," said biochemist Suzanne Pfeffer of Stanford University.

A new study suggests that Parkinson's disease, which is traditionally linked with neurological damage in the brain, could also begin mushrooming in an unexpected part of the body, like the kidneys.
