Study Optimizes Patient-Specific Stem Cell-Based Therapy for Parkinson's Disease

A new discovery paves the way for clinical trials that use patients' own cells to treat Parkinson's ...

New Therapeutic Target for Parkinson's Disease Discovered

Scientists have uncovered a new mechanism by which mutations in a gene parkin contribute to familial forms of Parkinson's disease. The discovery opens a new avenue for Parkinson's therapeutics, scientists report in a new study. They discovered that mutations in parkin result in a breakdown of ...

Lewy Body Disease Can Be Detected Before Symptoms

Lewy body disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. A research group has now shown that the disease can be detected before symptoms appear, using a spinal fluid test. Researchers also demonstrate that reduced sense of smell is strongly linked to Lewy ...

Key Improvements to Parkinson's Disease Cell Therapies

Researchers have demonstrated that a transplant surgical procedure (called 'needle trauma') triggers a profound immune response and causes the death of most grafted dopamine neurons. They also found that co-transplantation of neuronal cell therapy with host regulatory T cells resulted in effective ...

Slow-Moving Shell of Water Can Make Parkinson's Proteins 'Stickier'

Water -- which makes up the majority of every cell in the body -- plays a key role in how proteins, including those associated with Parkinson's disease, fold, misfold, or clump together, ...

Picking the Fastest Progressing Patients to Speed Parkinson's Disease Clinical Trials

A team has developed a new tool that can predict how Parkinson's disease patients will fare over the course of a year based on their genetics, brain scans and physical ...

OHSU Scientists Identify Molecule That Could Help Treat Parkinson's

Researchers have discovered that the neurotransmitter adenosine effectively acts as a brake to dopamine, another well-known neurotransmitter involved in motor control. The discovery could immediately ...

Researchers Identify a Molecular Mechanism Associated With Juvenile Parkinson's

Parkinson's disease affects 3% of population over 65 years old, and the average age of onset is 60. Regarding juvenile Parkinson, which represents the rest of all Parkison's cases, the ...

Gene Therapy Targeting Overactive Brain Cells Could Treat Neurological Disorders

A new treatment for neurological and psychiatric diseases, that works by reducing the excitability of overactive brain cells, has been ...

'A Silent Killer' -- COVID-19 Shown to Trigger Inflammation in the Brain

Researchers have found that COVID-19 activates the same inflammatory response in the brain as Parkinson's disease. The discovery identified a potential future risk for neurodegenerative ...

Weight Change in Early Parkinson's May Be Tied to Changes in Thinking Skills

People who gain or lose weight soon after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease may be more likely to have changes in their thinking skills than people who maintain their weight, according to ...

Voice Screening App Delivers Rapid Results for Parkinson's and Severe COVID

A new screening test app could help advance the early detection of Parkinson's disease and severe COVID-19, improving the management of these illnesses. Developed by a research team of engineers ...

COVID-19 Infections Increase Risk of Long-Term Brain Problems

A comprehensive analysis of federal data shows people who have had COVID-19 are at an elevated risk of developing neurological conditions within the first year after infection. Movement disorders, ...

In-Home Wireless Device Tracks Disease Progression in Parkinson's Patients

Researchers can track the severity and progression of Parkinson's disease, as well as how a patient responds to medication, using an in-home device that passively monitors the patient's ...
