Scientists have shown that stem cells delivered to rats via a nasal spray lead to an improvement of motor functions...
Parkinson’s disease may be caused by oxidative stress within cells due to defective nucleoli. Dopamine producing neurons are particularly sensitive...

Max Planck researchers discovered that large, less hydrophobic proteins with a significant increase of disorder in their structures were more...
Huntington’s disease research using simple organisms such as baker’s yeast has yielded new information about underlying mechanisms of Huntington’s disease...
Neuroscience researchers have identified a new molecular pathway underlying Parkinson's disease. The pathway involves polyamines, which were discovered to be responsible for increased build-up of other toxic proteins in neurons. The research also suggests polyamine lowering drugs could have a protective effect from Parkinson's disease.
New research published in Nature Genetics suggests that there is a genetic component for late-onset Parkinson's disease.
