Major NIH grant will support early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease via skin testing
Much less invasive than current dependence on examining cerebrospinal fluid
Parkinson’s disease is also present in the blood
Though Parkinson’s disease is primarily seen as a brain disorder, researchers from Aarhus University, Denmark, have measured that the disease in the blood induces immune-imbalance. This advocates for immune modulation as alternative treatment.
Experts call for coordinated action to avert a brain disease crisis
Experts are calling for a public health campaign aimed at promoting a ‘brain-healthy lifestyle’ to reduce the risk of developing neurodegenerative brain diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. The campaign should support existing health promotion work by emphasising…
Exploring the brain in a new way: WVU researcher records neurons to understand cognition
Where is Waldo? Whether we’re searching for Waldo or our keys in a room of clutter, we tap into a part of the frontal region of the brain when performing visual, goal-related tasks. Some of us do it well, whereas…
Researchers Receive $18 Million Grant to Study Connection Between Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and Parkinson’s Disease
A National Institute on Aging grant will support Penn’s Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research to study the underlying genetic connections between Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, and Dementia.
VCU will lead $50 million study of traumatic brain injuries in military personnel
Virginia Commonwealth University has been awarded a $50 million federal grant to oversee a national research consortium of universities, hospitals and clinics that will study the long-term impacts of mild traumatic brain injuries or concussions on service members and veterans.…

New therapeutic targets
How and why does Parkinson’s disease effect women and men differently?
Scientists review the different clinical features, risk factors, responses to treatments, and mechanisms underlying the disease pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease in women and men in the Journal of Parkinson’s Disease
Unravelling the mystery of how one gene contributes to Parkinson’s, Crohn’s and leprosy
Research on LRRK2 gene in mice could lead to new treatments, prevention
Is copper a cause of Alzheimer’s disease?
University of Houston researcher examines the link
Big data, bench science suggests drug may slow Parkinson’s progression in people
Drug used to treat enlarged prostate appears to improve Parkinson’s symptoms in experimental models and human database analysis
Shimmer announces launch of healthcare industry open source initiative for wearable sensor algorithm
Initiative will enable the development of industry standards for wearable sensor data
Exercising at home has a positive effect on Parkinson’s patients
Even though exercise is known to be healthy, many people find it difficult to maintain an exercise program for a longer time. This applies even more to people with a chronic illness such as Parkinson’s disease, where physical and mental…
Knotty problem of cell reprogramming solved, USC scientists report
The researchers found a way to repurpose cells more reliably than current methods by untangling DNA,
Researchers find regulator of first responder cells to brain injury
Astrocytes are the most abundant cells in the brain, yet there is still much to learn about them. For instance, it is known that when the brain is injured or diseased astrocytes are the first responders. They become reactive and…
The future of mind control
Why neuron-like implants could offer a better way to treat Alzheimer’s disease or post-traumatic str
Penn researcher Virginia M.Y. Lee, Ph.D., receives $3 million breakthrough prize
Award recognizes Lee’s work studying underlying mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases
New proteomics technique gives insights into ubiquitin signalling
Australian researchers are among the first in the world to have access to a new approach to understand intricate changes that control how proteins function in our cells in health and disease. The new proteomics technique called ‘ubiquitin clipping’ allows…
