摘要
The prevalence of Parkinson’s disease(PD)is rapidly increasing,and more than 12 million people are expected to suffer from PD by 2040.PD is a highly invalidating neurodegenerative condition that arises from the progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta.The main cause for such degeneration is the formation of cytoplasmic inclusions known as Lewy bodies.
