The immune system is supposed to keep us healthy, but in Parkinson’s it may be too much of a good thing. MJFF Contributing Editor Dave Iverson moderates a conversation with MJFF CEO Todd Sherer, PhD, and Jeff Bronstein, MD, PhD, director of the Movement Disorders Program at the University of California, Los Angeles where they discuss:
- The overall function of the immune system
- How the immune system and inflammation may play a role in Parkinson’s disease
- How scientists are using immune system properties to develop therapies against the disease
