- Common degenerative brain disease may begin to develop in middle ageon March 26, 2024 at 2:39 pm
Lewy body disease may be more common in middle-aged people than previously thought, according to a recent study. In the study, almost one in ten of over 50-year-olds were found to have tissue markers of Lewy body disease in the brain.
- Even cells know the importance of recyclingon March 14, 2024 at 4:20 pm
Researchers uncovered the mechanistic details behind how several proteins interact to help cells recognize and remove damaged mitochondria. Optineurin (OPTN) and its interactions are needed to provide a contact site for another protein, Tank-binding kinase 1 (TBK1), during this process. The OPTN-TBK1 relationship is necessary for these mitochondria to be recognized and eliminated from the cell. This mechanism may have relevance for developing drugs to treat Parkinson's disease.
- Study finds pesticide use linked to Parkinson's in rocky mountain, great plains regionon February 28, 2024 at 4:54 pm
Pesticides and herbicides used in farming have been linked to Parkinson's disease in the Rocky Mountain and Great Plains region of the country, according to a preliminary study.
- Newly discovered brain cells play a key role in right and left turnson February 12, 2024 at 6:31 pm
Researchers have discovered a network of neurons in the brain of mice that help them make right and left turns. In the future, the discovery may be used in treatment for Parkinson's disease.
- A neurological disease paradigm shifton January 23, 2024 at 5:21 pm
Scientists argue that Parkinson's disease complexity demands a new way of classifying the disease for research purposes, one based not on clinical diagnosis but biology. The authors have called their biological model 'SynNeurGe'.
