Neuroscientists found that higher levels of the alpha-synuclein protein in the brain can lead to changes in vocal production. Parkinson’s disease is likely best known…
Neurodegenerative diseases cause neuronal damage and destruction, wreaking havoc on both mental and physical health. Parkinson’s disease, which affects over 10 million people worldwide, is…
It’s commonly claimed that a little stress can be beneficial for you. Scientists have now demonstrated that the same may be true for cells, uncovering…
It’s the first thing that many people reach for in the morning, but can that early cup of coffee be doing more good than just…
Animal studies show live biotherapeutic produced by gut-healthy probiotic bacteria is safe, reduces treatment complications. Researchers have engineered probiotic bacteria that can synthesize the dopamine…
New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute collaborates with Google Research to identify new cellular characteristics of disease in skin cells from Parkinson’s patients….
UCLA-led study into mechanism that causes mitochondria to split could be step to potential cure. As scientists work toward finding a cure for Parkinson’s disease,…
LJI Scientists uncover new targets for treating Parkinson’s disease. Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have found that people with Parkinson’s disease have…
People who have had a heart attack are at increased risk of stroke and vascular dementia; however, a new study found they may be less…
Study shows how blocking cellular housekeeping system leads to buildup and spread of abnormal protein aggregates in the brain. Parkinson’s disease may be driven in…
3 or more servings per week of berries, red wine (flavonoids) linked to better odds of survival. A new study shows that people with Parkinson’s…
A peptide known to prevent the protein error that gives rise to Parkinson’s disease has been optimized by scientists, making it a strong candidate for…
In an unexpected discovery, Georgetown University Medical Center researchers have identified what appears to be a significant vascular defect in patients with moderately severe Parkinson’s…
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have found a way to make deep brain stimulation (DBS) more precise, resulting in therapeutic effects that outlast what is…
This cooperation is impaired in mutations that can cause Parkinson’s disease. To break down toxic proteins more quickly, immune cells in the brain can join…
Researchers at The Graduate Center, CUNY, and the CUNY School of Medicine find that increased signaling of the protein could suppress debilitating involuntary movements that…
Researchers at Osaka University train a deep learning algorithm to find features of movement disorders shared across species distant in evolutionary lineage — such as…
Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers say they have added to evidence that the compound farnesol, found naturally in herbs, and berries and other fruits, prevents and…
