A team of neuroscientists in Australia has found that restoring copper levels in the brain dramatically reduced Parkinson-like damage in mice. The approach restored a protein’s function, and the same ...

These findings highlight the significance of rearing behavior and behavioral lateralization as potential behavioral markers ...

The results of experiments in mice models were "astounding," said biochemist Suzanne Pfeffer of Stanford University.

The findings of two recent studies give hope that the disease could one day be reversed in humans—but experts warn that this ...

Putting the brakes on an enzyme might rescue neurons that are dying due to a type of Parkinson's disease that's caused by a ...

Putting the brakes on an enzyme might rescue neurons that are dying in Parkinson's disease, stabilizing the progression of ...

Stanford researchers discovered that dialing down an overactive enzyme, LRRK2, can regrow lost cellular “antennae” in key ...

Currently dopamine replacement medications, like levodopa and dopamine agonists, are the primary treatment for Parkinson's ...

A breakthrough brain scan shows Parkinson’s drugs can misfire in the brain, helping some patients less than others. The fix?

By shutting down a hyperactive enzyme, scientists got damaged brain cells to regrow their lost “antennae” and restart ...

A new treatment for one type of Parkinson's disease may be on the horizon after researchers discovered a "brake" that can halt cell death. The study, led by researchers from Stanford University ...

A collaborative study led by Professor Vittoria Raffa at the University of Pisa and Assistant Professor Fabian Raudzus ...
