Recently, scientists from IIT (Indian School of Mines) Dhanbad and CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Biology (Kolkata) have developed the Z-scan method
It helps to monitor the origin as well as the progression of Parkinson's disease in human beings.
It is expected to help in monitoring both the early as well as late stages of the aggregation of ASyn and death of neuronal cells.
An aggregation of a protein called Alpha-synuclein (ASyn) plays a crucial role in the development of Parkinson’s disease.
Parkinson’s disease is a chronic, degenerative neurological disorder that affects the central nervous system.
