Study demonstrates a correlation between peripheral pro-inflammatory mechanisms, particularly monocytes and oxidative stress, in the progression and severity of Parkinson’s Disease (PD); In addition ...

For years, researchers have watched the tiny power plants inside brain cells falter in Parkinson’s disease and wondered what came first. Did those damaged mitochondria trigger the illness, or did they ...

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 ...

For decades, scientists have known that mitochondria, which produce energy inside our cells, malfunction in Parkinson's disease. But a critical question remained: do the failing mitochondria cause ...

DJ-1 might have chaperone activity, which helps to refold proteins in the presence of oxidative stress and other cell stress contiditions. It may in fact sense oxidative signals via oxidation at ...

Researchers are interested in ways to prevent Parkinson’s disease from occurring in the first place. A recent study in mice found that components of the seaweed Ecklonia cava may help prevent ...
