A new meta-analysis suggests that low expression levels of 10 related gene sets responsible for mitochondrial machinery play an important role in this disorder--all previously unlinked to Parkinson's. The study, published online today in   Science Translational Medicine  , further points to a master switch for these gene sets as a potential target of future therapies.   <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article.cfm\">[More]<\/a><\/p><p>  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pheedcontent.com\/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:a587050cfb1dabe4b78c91f01e0a6235:keo8XFoowrIciwfDl0S4Vk4gWzmEl%2Fm6dU6AKEcw5vZQKcHt%2FbJLQeeOql52chIcVbzFxYwikHWIpQ%3D%3D\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Add to digg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.longevitymedicine.tv\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/e342a_digg.gif\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a><br>  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pheedcontent.com\/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:e5e4ebfb1b04fe4aa09c156f7f37abc8:saWVTPDeirUtJ6YOZF2XV95hP0W2WHq1CkgvPIutqi6NNHP5LzRI1AKp4LZTvRecKQcRuE8S5BZDd%2Bk%3D\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Add to StumbleUpon\" src=\"http:\/\/www.longevitymedicine.tv\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/72ef5_stumbleit.gif\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a><br>  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pheedcontent.com\/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:533d6a1ab3f38b8075a0a4e9f5b3183d:TRhFbQqi%2BjH576AL74YE6go%2FW2gpDepkUQ2wCdJIQQPqM%2BXHlp12aMKSg2YVJ2G%2F9Mdzxoqothx7RA%3D%3D\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Add to Reddit\" src=\"http:\/\/www.longevitymedicine.tv\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/72ef5_reddit.png\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a><br>  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pheedcontent.com\/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:42ebd29ab30aa8ccb1b1594d770a0d3c:2INbzWXd3KEI%2B%2FF7tdRKwTb2Z7XZ6l4%2FoW69%2Byj8fvN24T7vWRWueiSIsqeECAD8wchvlRAs%2FAqw3mQ%3D\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Add to Facebook\" src=\"http:\/\/www.longevitymedicine.tv\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/72ef5_facebook.gif\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a><br>  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pheedcontent.com\/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:8d6d98f9e794797eeadaead1c0691a4a:8ORCMicbj4D7yES43mfXYfEr40yJUUUyAhyCMcEfItXtNG%2B6Jx%2FNmt%2F3itz2C7Bp3ANRkaIgpmRSeQ%3D%3D\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Add to del.icio.us\" src=\"http:\/\/www.longevitymedicine.tv\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/72ef5_delicious.gif\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a><br>  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pheedcontent.com\/hostedMorselClick.php?hfmm=v3:46625452c9a9f9afdfb4dbf6e2cf30dd:39ZLeoW76Ix1mpAO7vuZngFxVtNovJVeG9kphAS2VXG3k7AYy6XPk0ioU3RZoeV%2Fg7tH8fdBqFebSA%3D%3D\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Email this Article\" src=\"http:\/\/www.longevitymedicine.tv\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/72ef5_emailthis.png\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a><br><br><a href=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/click.phdo?s=ed71f3e1a6a598c4bdf84872b667444c&amp;p=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.longevitymedicine.tv\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/57e3a_img.phdo?s=ed71f3e1a6a598c4bdf84872b667444c&amp;p=1\"><\/a><br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.longevitymedicine.tv\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/1be4d_pixel?code=News&amp;partnerID=167&amp;key=segment\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.longevitymedicine.tv\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/1be4d_p-8bUhLiluj0fAw.gif?labels=pub.23518.rss.News.10146,cat.News.rss\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the past researchers have observed an association between poor mitochondrial function and Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system that impairs speech and motor functions and affects five million people worldwide.
