Research at the University of British Columbia is paving the way for the development of Parkinson's drugs that target the root causes of the disease instead of just treating the symptoms.

A genetically engineered virus selectively infected and killed cancer tissue without harming adjacent normal tissue, results of a phase I clinical study showed.
Avian flu shows signs of a resurgence, while a mutant strain - able to sidestep vaccines - could be spreading in Asia, the United Nations has warned.
A new drug, dubbed "DRACO," or double-stranded RNA Activated Caspase Oligomerizers, works by targeting a type of RNA produced only in virus-infected cells.
