Researchers at the Carolina Institute in Sweden conducted a large-scale experiment and found a way to modify neurons in the brains of people with Parkinson's disease..

As a result of the disease, the robot’s brain neuron cells are disrupted and this is due to a lack of dopamine, a chemical that acts as a stimulant in the brain.

For decades, scientists have been trying to develop a method for treating Parkinson’s disease, which involves transplanting dopamine neurons grown in a laboratory directly into the brain. But the new approach offers a completely new way to replace cells that are lost in the disease..

The researchers conducted a series of genetic tests and were able to turn ordinary brain cells, known as astrocytes, into cells resembling dopamine neurons.

This is an absolutely innovative strategy and as long as the researchers do not know what problems may arise on the way to developing a drug in the future. But the focus was on demonstrating that this is possible..

Recall that about 5 million people in the world suffer from Parkinson's disease, it is almost impossible to recognize the disease in the early stages. Clinical tests can establish a diagnosis only after 80% of dopaminergic neurons die.
