http://www.parkinsons.org.uk/about-parkinsons/treating-parkinsons.aspx this site was particularly useful, there is a section on future treatments including gene therapy, stem cells and cytoplasmic hybrid cells. The source from this site is reliable because its a registered charity providing information for people to understand and support Parkinson's in many ways such donating for research on future treatments, fundraising activities and events or becoming a member of this charity, Parkinson's UK, and bringing people with Parkinson's, their carers and families together via local groups and an online community. Charities are very important for the success on future treatments, Parkinson's UK currently supports around 90 Parkinson's research projects and they provide information on these on their website for example The Monument Discovery Project is an interesting one I'd like to include in my essay.
Parkinson's UK also has the UK's largest brain bank dedicated to Parkinson's. They collect tissue from people with and without the condition and provide it to researchers in the UK and around the world who are working towards a cure for Parkinson's. Brain tissue donators are vital for research as one of these can be used up to 50 different research studies.
Parkinsons UK has a big plan to find a cure for Parkinson's but this seems possible as major advances have already come from research from the several research programmes they support.
Great evaluation of your source of information Yasemin.
