- 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.
- Could targeting Parkinson's outside of the brain improve symptoms?on April 3, 2025 at 4:28 pm
Parkinson's doesn't just affect movement and the brain -- it may also impact the heart, according to new research. Scientists suggest that targeting a key protein outside of the brain could help manage Parkinson's-related heart issues.
- PET imaging confirms direct involvement of dopamine in cognitive flexibilityon March 28, 2025 at 3:25 pm
Scientists have confirmed a neurobiochemical link between dopamine and cognitive flexibility. PET imaging shows that the brain increases dopamine production when completing cognitively demanding tasks, and that the more dopamine released, the more efficiently the tasks are completed. Armed with this information, physicians may soon be able to develop more precise treatment strategies for neurological and psychiatric disorders.
