Researchers Closer to Pinpointing Cause of Parkinson’s Disease

If you are suffering from a medical condition, such as Parkinson's disease, that has made it impossible for you to continue working and participating in substantial gainful activity, you may qualify for Social Security disability benefits. 

Disabled World reports that medical researchers may have found a possible cause of Parkinson's disease. The scientists believe they have identified defective nucleoli which were recently found to be linked to a few types of rare hereditary diseases.

It now appears that there could also be a link between these defective nucleoli and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease and Parkinson's disease.

Researchers indicate that there are no clear-cut links between the two but are making progress in being able to see that defective nucleoli cause oxidative stress in cells, which can cause severe cell damage. Cell damage may signal the onset of nerve damage such as what happens with Parkinson's disease.

While the research into Parkinson's disease continues, many individuals are left to suffer the effects of what can very often be a debilitating disease. Consulting with a Social Security disability attorney is one of the most effective ways to pursue benefits or get the help you need if your application for benefits has been denied.
