Summary: Researchers at the University of Cambridge used AI to identify compounds for Parkinson's disease treatment by screening millions of entries. They found five potent compounds, speeding up the process ten-fold and reducing costs a thousand-fold. Parkinson's affects over six million worldwide, with numbers projected to triple by 2040. The study, published in Nature Chemical Biology, aims to develop more effective treatments for the fastest-growing neurological condition.
