Two proteins may be intimately linked to the progression of Parkinson's disease, a relentless and disabling neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of people around the world.
Sleep may be one of the most potent medicines for the brain, scientists are discovering, as they explore the inner labyrinths of the three-pound organ during deep sleep and dream cycles in both health and disease.
In recent years, neuroscientists have debated whether prion-like activity damages the brain in people with Parkinson's, but scientists in Japan, after an exhaustive analysis, report no evidence of misfolded, transmissable ...
Massachusetts General Hospital coordinated the first four platform trials within the HEALEY ALS platform to evaluate potential treatments for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), with results published in various JAMA journals.
Lewy body diseases (LBDs) are a class of debilitating neurodegenerative disorders linked to the abnormal aggregation of the protein α-synuclein in nerve cells. When misfolded, this protein can produce clumps known as Lewy ...
University of Southern California-led researchers have discovered the structural details of a brain receptor called GPR6, which could lead to new treatments for Parkinson's disease.
Oregon Health & Science University-led researchers have found a correlative link between hearing loss and the development of Parkinson's disease (PD). They find the risk of PD rises somewhat with the severity of hearing loss, ...
A Phase 3 clinical trial investigating Elevidys (delandistrogene moxeparvovec), a gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, did not achieve its primary endpoint, according to findings published in Nature Medicine. A News ...
Researchers at the Scripps Research Institute, Florida, have developed a new method to counteract α-synuclein protein levels by targeting the mRNA that forms them. The strategy unlocks many research doors with potential ...
Researchers have developed a blood test that detects Parkinson's disease, potentially establishing a way to help diagnose the condition before nervous system damage worsens.
