Researchers Engineered A Bacteria, Probiotic E.coli Nissle 1917, To Consistently Produce, In The Gut, Effective Volumes Of L-DOPA Drug For Parkinson’s Disease Treatment. Mouse Studies Show That The Method Is Safe & Effective. And Consistent Source Of L-DOPA Could Alleviate Dyskinesias Side Effects. But More Study Is Required For Human Use.
