LSIPR 50 2018: A decade in the making, a Parkinson’s breakthrough

Parkinson’s disease affects 127,000 people in the UK. With the prevalence of the disease becoming more common with increasing age—around five in 1,000 over 60-year-olds, and around 40 in 1,000 over 80-year-olds are affected, according to charity Age UK—it’s predicted to become an increasing burden on the population and the health services.
