A recent paper in the journal Molecular & Cellular Proteomics reports a technical advance in selecting cells to use in this therapy.

			Magnetic gene in aquarium fish could open doors to treatment for epilepsy, Parkinson's An aquarium fish that senses the Earth's magnetic field as it swims could help unlock how the human brain works and how diseases such as Parkinson's and other neurological disorders function.

			Modified Nurr1 protein may pave way for new Parkinson's therapy Researchers have modified the protein Nurr1 so that it can enter cells from the outside. Nurr1 deficiency may be one of the causes of Parkinson's disease.

	Scientists reveal novel brain network linked to pain in Parkinsonism Scientists have revealed a novel brain network that links pain in Parkinson's disease (PD) to a specific region of the brain, according to a report in the journal eLife.

	Biomarkers responsible for exhaustion in cancer linked to fatigue in Parkinson's disease Biological markers responsible for extreme exhaustion in patients with cancer have now been linked to fatigue in those with Parkinson's disease, according to new research from Rice University.

	Study shows link between thinning of the retina and early sign of Parkinson's disease The eyes may be a window to the brain for people with early Parkinson's disease. People with the disease gradually lose brain cells that produce dopamine, a substance that helps control movement.

	Study: Occupational stress is associated with Parkinson's disease risk Results from a Movement Disorders study suggest that occupational stress is associated with Parkinson's Disease risk, such that having a high-demand occupation is a risk factor and low control is protective.
