- Study identifies potential new drug for Parkinson's-related cognitive decline, dementiaon November 19, 2024 at 6:26 pm
A recently published study found that a tiny protein called PNA5 appears to have a protective effect on brain cells, which could lead to treatments for the cognitive symptoms of Parkinson's disease and related disorders.
- Researchers identify a potential biomarker of Parkinson's disease progressionon November 12, 2024 at 5:30 pm
Researchers have identified a potential biomarker of Parkinson's disease progression. According to the new study, patients with a slow progression of the pathology would have a significant increase in the levels of a molecule called ecto-GPR37 in the cerebrospinal fluid.
- Scientists discover key to preventing neurodegeneration in Parkinson's and related disorderson November 1, 2024 at 4:37 pm
A team of researchers has uncovered a groundbreaking mechanism in the formation of harmful protein aggregates that lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's Disease. The team, led by Professor Norifumi Shioda and Associate Professor Yasushi Yabuki, identified for the first time that unique RNA structures called G-quadruplexes (G4s) play a central role in promoting the aggregation of alpha-synuclein, a protein associated with neurodegeneration. By demonstrating that inhibiting G4 assembly could potentially prevent the onset of synucleinopathies, this discovery positions G4 as a promising target for early intervention in these diseases.
- Antibiotics and antifungals may slightly affect Parkinson's risk, study findson October 23, 2024 at 6:19 pm
Research highlights a complex relationship between bacteria in the digestive tract and brain health.
- Recreating a hallmark of Parkinson's disease in human neuronson October 8, 2024 at 2:38 pm
Scientists have recreated the growth of Lewy bodies in human neurons and followed their formation to gain important insight into why and how they form. Critically, they find that immune challenge is important for this process, identifying a previously unknown link between the immune system and neurological disease.
