Researchers from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) examined the molecular mechanisms underlying the removal of damaged mitochondria, particularly in the setting of Parkinson’s disease ...

Parkinson's disease affects 3% of population over 65 ... a group of researchers has deciphered the molecular mechanism by which a mutation of the adenosine type 1 receptor gene is associated with ...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) involves complex neurodegenerative processes, with mounting research uncovering the molecular drivers behind its progression. While current therapies offer symptomatic relief, ...

A new Northwestern Medicine study has identified the molecular mechanisms that cause a commonly prescribed antipsychotic drug to produce harmful side effects similar to Parkinson's disease ...

The gut microbiome has been associated with many heath conditions, and scientists are exploring the links between the gut microbiome and Parkinson's | Microbiology ...

“This is most likely due to differences in the underlying molecular mechanisms occurring in different subtypes of the disease. Parkinson’s disease is associated with misfolding of key proteins ...

Payami’s study, “Metagenomics of Parkinson’s disease implicates the gut microbiome in multiple disease mechanisms," was recently published in Nature Communications. Payami and her team reported ...

A preclinical study sheds a light on the structure and function of GPR6, which is a key player in Parkinson's disease. The insights could guide future research and development of new therapeutics.

Researchers suggest that caffeine’s action in the brain may influence several pathways that help prevent the onset of Parkinson’s disease. Molecular interactions are thought to be key in this ...
