Special Issue on Research of Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's
disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects
how people move, speak and write. Symptoms develop gradually and may start off
with slight tremors in one hand, and then people find it hard to carry out
movements and muscles become weaker and weaker. According to statistics, about
10 million people around the world are estimated to be living with Parkinson's
disease. What’s more, Males and people whose age is over 50 have a higher risk
to get this
disease. As more and more people surfer from Parkinson’s disease and
effective treatments seem quite limited, further study on this disease has become necessary and meaningful to
researchers.
