 Scientists have found evidence that BMP5 and BMP7, two bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) that have been found to play a role in the development of dopamine-producing neurons, may help slow or even stop the progression of Parkinson’s disease. They discovered in a mouse model of Parkinson’s that the two proteins were able to prevent the […]

Jan 21, 2021 03:00 pm | Sherri Woodbridge
 It’s not easy to start a new year when the last one was so difficult. I saw a picture of someone holding a sign exclaiming, “We made it!” in honor of the new year. Another sign, however, depicted a cartoonish group of people peeking around the corner, all holding rifles as they trod carefully from […]

Disturbed Sleep Common, But Not Tied to Patient’s Sex or Disease Stage
Jan 21, 2021 07:00 am | Marisa Wexler
 Neither a patient’s sex nor the degree of disease progression substantially affects the manifestations of sleep disturbances in Parkinson’s disease, a study reports. More research into this “very common” and life-affecting problem — and into other non-motor symptoms — of Parkinson’s is needed, its researchers said. The study, “Sleep Disturbances in Seniors with Parkinson’s Disease,” was […]

Vision Test May Predict Cognitive Decline in Parkinson’s Patients
Jan 21, 2021 07:00 am | Forest Ray PhD
 Visual dysfunction and its underlying brain changes can identify Parkinson’s disease patients at higher risk of cognitive decline, who might benefit most from future clinical trials, according to two new studies. The studies, “Organisational and neuromodulatory underpinnings of structural-functional connectivity decoupling in patients with Parkinson’s disease” and “Visual Dysfunction Predicts Cognitive Impairment and White Matter […]
