Parkinson’s breakthrough could slow disease progressionOctober 25, 2012 [image: 688px-Protein_CACNA1D_PDB_2be6] Cav1.3 also known as the calcium channel (credit: Emw/Wikimedia Commons) Northwestern University scientists have developed a new family of compounds that could slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s, the second most common neurodegenerative disease, is caused by the death of dopamine neurons, resulting in tremors, rigidity and difficulty moving.
