Levodopa-making tomatoes could provide an affordable medication for Parkinson's symptoms Date 11 December 2020
£1.5 million investment in Parkinson’s UK Brain Bank Date 30 July 2019 We're investing £1.5 million over 5 years in our Brain Bank, powering new research to understand more about Parkinson's.
New device improves Parkinson’s symptoms Date 25 July 2019 Researchers have shown that an ‘easy to use’ portable stimulation headset may be able to reduce both motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s.
Could a gut infection trigger Parkinson's? Date 22 July 2019 A new study published in Nature has shown that a gut infection can lead to symptoms resembling Parkinson's in mice, suggesting that the immune system may play a more central role in the condition than previously thought.
Targeting nerve cell batteries to slow Parkinson’s progression Date 1 July 2019 We’re investing nearly £1 million to find a new treatment that targets energy-producing mitochondria to slow the loss of brain cells in Parkinson's.
New research puts serotonin at the heart of Parkinson’s Date 20 June 2019 In a seminal research paper, published in Lancet Neurology, researchers from King’s College London have used brain scans to uncover early changes in the brain that may happen years before the symptoms of Parkinson's appear.
HYPE protein found to target alpha-synuclein Date 19 June 2019 Researchers in the US have identified a protein in the brain that may reduce the spread of the toxic alpha-synuclein protein in Parkinson's.
Targeting bacteria in the gut could increase effectiveness of levodopa Date 18 June 2019 New research from Harvard University suggests changes to the gut could improve how a common Parkinson’s medication works.
New molecules targeting alpha-synuclein have potential for slowing Parkinson’s Date 17 June 2019 Researchers in Japan have developed molecules that could be key to slowing the progression of Parkinson’s.
Existing drugs may help the brain protect itself against Parkinson's Date 5 June 2019 Researchers at King's College London have investigated the properties of over 1,000 approved drugs to identify 2 with potential for Parkinson's.
New mouse model highlights promising potential drug for slowing Parkinson’s Date 4 June 2019 The results indicate that, when given early, the molecule Anle138b may restore dopamine levels and help slow or stop Parkinson’s in its tracks.
