- Promising Parkinson's drug decodedon May 8, 2025 at 3:25 pm
How well our brain functions depends heavily on the performance of our nerve cells. That is why they are regularly checked for their proper function -- defective cell components are marked, disposed of and recycled. This includes the mitochondria, the powerhouses of our cells. Impaired quality control of mitochondria plays a central role in Parkinson's disease.
- Eating ultra processed foods may speed up early signs of Parkinson's diseaseon May 7, 2025 at 9:05 pm
People who eat more ultra processed foods like cold breakfast cereal, cookies and hot dogs are more likely to have early signs of Parkinson's disease when compared to those who eat very few ultra processed foods, according to a new study. The study does not prove that eating more ultra processed foods causes early signs of Parkinson's disease; it only shows an association.
- New body-fluid biomarker for Parkinson's disease discoveredon April 25, 2025 at 3:34 pm
Researchers have discovered a new biomarker for Parkinson's disease. A misfolded protein facilitates reliable diagnosis even in the early stages of Parkinson's disease in body fluids.
- Discovery reveals protein involved in Parkinson's disease also drives skin canceron April 9, 2025 at 7:46 pm
A small protein involved in neurodegeneration leading to Parkinson's disease also drives a type of skin cancer known as melanoma, according to new research.
- Diagnostic uncertainty in Parkinson's disease: Study calls for improved diagnostic processeson April 7, 2025 at 3:42 pm
A study found that a significant proportion of Parkinson's disease diagnoses are later corrected. Up to one in six diagnoses changed after ten years of follow-up, and the majority of new diagnoses were made within two years of the original diagnosis.
