Parkinson’s Disease and Sleeping Disorders   This article investigates Parkinson's disease and whether Parkinson's affects sleep disorders.

Stem cells can repair parkinson's-damaged circuits in mouse brains   The mature brain is infamously bad at repairing itself following damage like that caused by trauma or strokes, or from degenerative diseases like Parkinson's.         Existence of brain-first and body-first Parkinson’s disease subtypes   Although the name may suggest otherwise, Parkinson's disease is not one but two diseases, starting either in the brain or in the intestines.

Researchers identify the cause for Parkinson's disease and potential treatments   In a seven-year research effort, an international team of scientists has clarified the cause for certain genetic forms of Parkinson's disease, and has identified potential pharmacological treatments.       Understanding the dynamics of amyloids is crucial to treat Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases   Even though specific amyloids are found to have a biological function, the formation of amyloids is often linked to Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.       Study links brain astrocyte dysfunction to Parkinson’s disease pathology   A new study using induced pluripotent stem cell technology links astrocyte dysfunction to Parkinson’s disease pathology.       Switching off 'master regulator' may offer neuroprotection from Parkinson's-related damage   Switching off a molecular "master regulator" may protect the brain from inflammatory damage and neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease, reports a study published today in Nature Neuroscience.
