Ex vivo expansion of dysfunctional regulatory T lymphocytes restores suppressive function in Parkinson’s disease

Abstract Inflammation is a pathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Chronic pro-inflammatory responses contribute to the loss of neurons in the neurodegenerative process. The present study was undertaken to define the peripheral innate and adaptive immune contributions to inflammation in p...
