By blocking these errant molecules, D-serine and poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP), researchers may be able to stop brain cells from dying while avoiding the toxic side effects that have plagued previous experimental treatments.

By blocking these errant molecules, called D-serine and poly ADP-ribose polymerase, known as PARP, researchers may be able to stop brain cells from dying, while avoiding the toxic side effects that have plagued previous experimental treatments.

Gleason also cites a new class of drugs known as PARP (poly ADP-ribose polymerase) inhibitors, which appear to be highly effective in treating breast cancer patients with certain mutations, and finally the sale of new products that could earn new markets.
