          New Genes Linked to Parkinson’s Risk Revealed

          Researchers have long wondered why some people with high-risk Parkinson’s gene variants develop the disease while others don’t. A new study has uncovered that additional genetic players, particularly the Commander gene complex, influence whether the disease manifests.

          Genetic Variant in ITSN1 Linked to Higher Parkinson’s and ASD Risk

          A new study has identified genetic variants in the ITSN1 gene that significantly increase the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. Researchers analyzed nearly 500,000 genetic profiles and found that individuals carrying ITSN1 variants face up to a tenfold higher risk of Parkinson’s.

          FDA Approves Adaptive DBS for Parkinson’s Patients

          The FDA has approved adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS), a breakthrough therapy that adjusts in real time to Parkinson’s disease symptoms. Unlike traditional DBS, which delivers constant stimulation, aDBS monitors brain activity and responds with precise electric pulses to prevent stiffness and involuntary movements.

          Hearing Loss May Signal Increased Risk of Parkinson’s Disease

          A new study has identified a potential link between hearing impairment and an increased risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. Researchers analyzed data from over 159,000 individuals, finding that every 10-decibel increase in hearing loss corresponded to a 57% higher risk of Parkinson’s.

          Accurate Parkinson’s Detection via Emotional Brain Responses

          A new study has achieved near-perfect accuracy in detecting Parkinson's disease by analyzing brain responses to emotional stimuli using EEG and AI. Researchers found that Parkinson's patients process emotions differently, struggling with recognizing fear, disgust, and surprise and focusing more on emotional intensity than valence.

          Parkinson’s Medication Alters Microbiome, Induces Iron Deficiency

          The Parkinson's drug entacapone disrupts the gut microbiome by inducing iron deficiency, favoring the growth of potentially harmful bacteria like E. coli. Using advanced molecular techniques, researchers identified that entacapone interferes with iron availability, a critical resource for many gut microbes.

          Parkinson’s Tremor Linked to Dopamine in Caudate Nucleus

          Rest tremor in Parkinson’s disease is linked to dopamine activity in the caudate nucleus, challenging conventional beliefs about dopamine loss and motor symptoms. Surprisingly, patients with stronger tremor preserved more dopamine in the caudate, highlighting a complex relationship between tremor severity and neural circuits.

          Parkinson’s Progression Linked to New Protein Pathway

          Researchers have identified a protein, TMEM16F, that appears to aid the spread of Parkinson’s pathology in the brain. They found that a mutation in this protein promotes the secretion of a harmful form of α-synuclein, which moves through nerve cells, forming toxic Lewy bodies.

          RNA Structures Linked to Parkinson’s Protein Aggregates

          Researchers have identified unique RNA structures called G-quadruplexes (G4s) that promote harmful α-synuclein protein aggregation linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s. Elevated calcium levels trigger these G4s, acting as "scaffolds" for α-synuclein clumping. Administering 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) to model mice prevented aggregation and reduced motor symptoms. This breakthrough suggests that G4-targeted therapies could offer early intervention for neurodegenerative diseases.

          New Blood Test Shows Promise for Early Parkinson’s Detection

          Researchers have developed a method to analyze extracellular vesicles (EVs) in blood for early detection of Parkinson’s disease (PD). By isolating EVs and assessing their contents, the team identified a protein called phosphorylated α-synuclein that appears in elevated levels in PD patients.

          A new study found that people who took multiple courses of penicillin antibiotics had a 15% lower risk of developing Parkinson's disease. Researchers analyzed medical records of over 93,000 individuals and discovered a connection between gut health and the disease, suggesting that altering the gut microbiome may influence Parkinson’s risk.
