A groundbreaking Danish project just received $3.8 million to develop the world's first therapy that could stop Parkinson's disease by destroying the toxic proteins that cause it. Instead of just treating symptoms, this approach aims to halt the disease entirely.
Researchers have discovered the "doorway" that lets Parkinson's disease spread through the brain and found a way to block it. The breakthrough could lead to treatments that actually slow or stop the disease, not just ease symptoms.
Researchers discovered how a tiny cellular channel prevents toxic buildup in brain cells, opening a promising new path to treat Parkinson's disease. The breakthrough solves a mystery scientists have puzzled over for years.
Researchers have discovered how a tiny cellular protein acts like a safety valve, preventing toxic buildup that contributes to Parkinson's disease. This breakthrough could lead to new treatments for millions living with neurodegenerative conditions.
Researchers discovered that blocking a specific enzyme protects brain cells in Parkinson's disease, and the drug is already in human trials for other conditions. This breakthrough could help over 10 million people worldwide living with this neurodegenerative disease.
An all-female rowing team led by a mom with Parkinson's will row 5,000 miles around America to raise funds for research. Their predecessor team raised $43 million rowing the Pacific Ocean.
Researchers in Denmark just launched a breakthrough project to stop Parkinson's disease by blocking toxic proteins from spreading in the brain. With $4 million in funding, they aim to have treatment candidates ready for testing in just three years.
Researchers in Brazil discovered a naturally occurring molecule that shields brain cells from Parkinson's damage in mice. Unlike current treatments that only mask symptoms, this approach targets the root inflammation causing cell death.
