New Stem Cell Transplant System for Parkinson’s Disease Improves Cell Survival
Oct 14, 2016 08:05 am | Magdalena Kegel
Researchers using a new system with real-time imaging to guide transplants of neurons into the brains of non-human primate models with Parkinson’s Disease not only allowed better oversight of the procedure, but also improved cell survival. The research report, “Real-Time Intraoperative MRI Intracerebral Delivery of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Neurons,” published in an early online release by the […]

Brain Stimulation for Parkinson’s Patients May Improve Slow, Rigid Movement
Oct 13, 2016 11:36 am | Joana Fernandes, PhD
Treating Parkinson’s disease patients with high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on both sides of the brain’s motor cortex improves bradykinesia (slow movement) and rigidity, according to a clinical trial analysis presented at the Fourth World Parkinson Congress, in Portland, Ore. The finding resulted from the analysis of a subset of patients from a the trial called “Magnetic Stimulation for […]

New Treatment Strategy Slows Progression of Parkinson’s Disease in Mice
Oct 12, 2016 08:37 am | Charles Moore
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine report their discovery that a protein called LAG3 acts as an enabler for a toxic natural aggregate to spread from cell to cell in the brains of mammals causing Parkinson’s disease development, and also of a means of blocking that protein’s action. In a research article published […]

MJ Fox Foundation Grant Aims for Way of Treating Dementia in Parkinson’s Patients
Oct 11, 2016 11:06 am | Carolina Henriques
The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) has awarded a research grant to Asceneuron to develop small molecules with the potential to treat dementia related to Parkinson’s disease. The grant, in an unspecified amount, from the MJFF Therapeutic Pipeline Program will: Support the further development of M1 PAMs (positive allosteric modulators of the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor) Fund the study of […]
