Fri, 05 Sep 2008 02:00:00 -0700
The European Medicines Agency (EMEA) has released two guidelines for companies developing medicines for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, and for Parkinson's disease, in the light of recent scientific progress in the understanding of these diseases and conditions. Advances in clinical science, physiopathology and molecular biology have stimulated new interest in the development of more effective symptomatic or disease-modifying treatments, i.e.
Neurological Diseases May Be Caused By Fatal Protein Interactions
Fri, 05 Sep 2008 01:00:00 -0700
In a collaborative study at the University of California, San Diego, investigators from neurosciences, chemistry and medicine, as well as the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) have investigated how proteins involved in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease interact to form unique complexes. Their findings explain why Alzheimer's patients might develop Parkinson's, and vice versa.
Surgical Technique Halts Cell Loss, Parkinson's Researchers Find
Thu, 04 Sep 2008 03:00:00 -0700
Deep brain stimulation, a surgical technique often viewed as a last resort for people with Parkinson's disease, halts the progression of dopamine-cell loss in animal models, according to preliminary research by scientists at the Neuroscience Institute at the University of Cincinnati (UC) and University Hospital. The scientists also discovered clues to why the technique works.
New Methods Identify And Manipulate "Newborn" Cells In Animal Model Of Parkinson's Disease
Wed, 03 Sep 2008 03:00:00 -0700
When cells in the brain are lost through disease or injury, neighboring cells begin to divide and multiply, but only a few areas in the brain are able to produce new neurons. Patients with Parkinson's disease suffer degeneration of certain neurons that reside in an area of the brain called the substantia nigra and project into the striatum. Many of the newborn cells in these areas have not been well described because of limitations of methods used to characterize them.
Stroke And Parkinson's Patients Aided By New Sensory Devices
Mon, 01 Sep 2008 02:00:00 -0700
People who have suffered a stroke or who have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, could benefit from new research at Queen's University Belfast. Dr Cathy Craig from Queen's School of Psychology is researching the development of new sensory devices for those who normally have difficulty controlling their movements. The work is being funded by a grant of 860,924 euros from the European Research Council.
