- Genetic variations may predispose people to Parkinson's disease following long-term pesticide exposure, study findson April 25, 2024 at 5:14 pm
A new study found certain genetic variants could help explain how long-term pesticide exposure could increase the risk of Parkinson's disease.
- Analyzing the progression in retinal thickness could predict cognitive progression in Parkinson's patientson April 19, 2024 at 5:05 pm
Although there are still some aspects pending confirmation for its use in the clinical setting, and its resolution needs to be improved slightly, a study has shown that a method routinely used to carry out ophthalmological tests can also be used to monitor the neurodegeneration that occurs in Parkinson's patients. In the course of the research it was found that the neurodegeneration of the retina probably precedes cognitive impairment.
- AI speeds up drug design for Parkinson's by ten-foldon April 17, 2024 at 5:10 pm
Researchers have used artificial intelligence techniques to massively accelerate the search for Parkinson's disease treatments. The researchers designed and used an AI-based strategy to identify compounds that block the clumping, or aggregation, of alpha-synuclein, the protein that characterises Parkinson's.
- Scientists identify cell vulnerability 'fingerprint' related to Parkinson's, Lewy body dementiaon April 16, 2024 at 3:58 pm
A new study offers a first look into the complex molecular changes that occur in brain cells with Lewy bodies, which are key pathological hallmarks of Parkinson's disease and some dementias. The findings reveal that brain cells with Lewy bodies exhibit a specific gene expression pattern akin to a disease-related fingerprint.
- Parkinson's Disease: New theory on the disease's origins and spreadon April 11, 2024 at 5:01 pm
New hypothesis paper builds on a growing scientific consensus that Parkinson's disease route to the brain starts in either the nose or the gut and proposes that environmental toxicants are the likely source.
