Lab-Grown Lewy Bodies Show How Inflammation May Trigger Parkinson’s in Anyone

The team’s overall goal was to be able to compare the amounts of α-synuclein protein contained in extracellular vesicles (right side) relative to α-synuclein contained in total plasma (left side). To achieve the former, they innovated an already validated EV-isolation and analysis process with a critical “protein protection assay.”

Breakthrough in Parkinson’s Disease Detection: New Blood Test Method Shows Promise

The image displays four views of a person's brain, highlighting the boundaries between different functional brain networks, each represented by different colored lines, as mapped using functional MRI. This map is overlaid on a salience network connectivity heat map, where warmer colors indicate stronger connectivity within the salience network. Researchers discovered that a larger salience network may be associated with an increased risk of depression. Credit: Lynch/Liston Labs.

Large-Scale Study Uncovers Hundreds of Genetic Variants Linked to Brain Structure

“This discovery challenges the longstanding view of dopamine as the primary transmitter in motor control. Ophthalmic acid offers a promising alternative for therapeutic interventions for Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders,” says the study’s co-corresponding author Amal Alachkar.

Japanese researchers studied the effects of locally administered ASOs on mouse models of Parkinson's disease. Their research indicates that ASOs can help prevent the formation and spread of harmful alpha-synuclein aggregates in different brain regions, suggesting ASOs as a potential therapeutic strategy for preventing and controlling the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.
