Parkinson’s disease disrupts lives by slowly robbing people of their ability to move, speak, and function with ease. It's the ...

An international team, led by researchers at the Champalimaud Foundation (CF), has shown—for the first time in a realistic ...

The work is published in the journal Neuron. In Parkinson's, a protein known as alpha-synuclein builds up in clumps called Lewy bodies in nerve cells in the brain. These clumps of protein stop ...

This kind of neuron loss is associated with Parkinson’s, but at the time, none of the people had been diagnosed with the disease and their brain scans seemed normal. The brain has its own ...

Patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease may soon benefit from a powerful treatment ... which researchers had coaxed into becoming immature brain cells called neuron progenitors. During surgery, ...

The idea that endogenous progenitor cells might be harnessed to replace neurons lost in neurodegenerative diseases is popular, but requires the development of methods to stimulate their ...

New research draws a conclusive link between Parkinson’s disease and the deterioration of a subpopulation of neurons found within the substantia nigra, a brain region linked ... suggests that only ...

In a lab setting, researchers tested the new system on mice with a Parkinson’s-like condition. These mice had been injected with α-synuclein fibrils, causing neuron damage in the same brain ...

Two new studies suggest that Parkinson's disease can potentially be treated ... which researchers had coaxed into becoming immature brain cells called neuron progenitors.
