When talking about Parkinson’s, Michael J. Fox – I’m sure all of you know who he is! – is fond of saying, “Science is HARD!” And I totally agree with him – science, especially medical science ...
Scientists have discovered how to therapeutically target a class of molecular switches called GTPases that are involved in Parkinson’s disease and other conditions but have long been considered undruggable. The [...]
Rune Labs has launched StrivePD-AI, a new feature in its StrivePD app that uses generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to create monthly clinical reports based on a continuous stream of observations [...]
The American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) has awarded a total of $2.6 million for the 2024-2025 funding year, to support a range of research projects that aim to advance understanding [...]
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared Turing Medical’s automated brain mapping technology designed to help doctors develop personalized plans for deep brain stimulation (DBS) and other neuromodulation [...]
My father passed away in March after a long and challenging battle with Parkinson’s disease. His journey through this illness was marked by the gradual erosion of the man we [...]
People with a history of damage to the lining of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, called the gastrointestinal mucosa, had an elevated risk of developing Parkinson’s disease in a recent [...]
The first patient with early Parkinson’s disease has been dosed in Ventyx Biosciences‘ Phase 2a clinical trial of Parkinson’s therapy VTX3232, an oral medication designed to reduce inflammation by blocking [...]
A research team has developed an analysis pipeline to identify unexploited genes for a given disease against five databases that provide gene-disease associations. They used their pipeline to study oxidative [...]
A finding by neuroscientists could open doors to new treatments for a range of psychiatric and neurological disorders attributed to dysfunctions in specific dopamine pathways. [...]
Contrary to previous research, a new study of female participants finds no link between migraine and the risk of developing Parkinson's disease. [...]
An enzyme called PGK1 has an unexpectedly critical role in the production of chemical energy in brain cells, according to a preclinical study. The investigators found that boosting its activity [...]
Two new studies are pointing the way toward round-the-clock personalized care for people with Parkinson's disease through an implanted device that can treat movement problems during the day and insomnia [...]
Using machine learning to analyze video recordings of individuals performing simple movements, researchers developed a method to automaticaly quanitfy motor systems in early-stage Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders. [...]
A research team examined the effect of Ecklonia cava polyphenols on the prevention of Parkinson's disease. It was found that the oral intake of the seaweed antioxidants restores motor function [...]
