16-08-2011 08:53 Researchers have discovered a new gene mutation they say causes Parkinson’s disease. The mutation was identified in a large Swiss family with Parkinson’s disease, using advanced DNA sequencing technology. The study, published in the American Journal of Human Genetics, was led by neuroscientists at the Mayo Clinic campus in Florida and included collaborators from the US, Canada, Europe, United Kingdom, Asia and the Middle East. “This finding provides an exciting new direction for Parkinson’s disease research,” says co-author Zbigniew Wszolek, MD, a Mayo Clinic neuroscientist. “Every new gene we discover for Parkinson’s disease opens up new ways to understand this complex disease, as well as potential ways of clinically managing it.” The team found that mutations in VPS35, a protein responsible for recycling other proteins within cells, caused Parkinson’s disease in the Swiss family. Mutated VPS35 may impair the ability of a cell to recycle proteins as needed, which could lead to the kind of errant buildup of protein seen in some Parkinson’s disease brains and in other diseases like Alzheimer’s disease says co-author Owen Ross, Ph.D., a neuroscientist at Mayo Clinic in Florida. “In fact, expression of this gene has been shown to be reduced in Alzheimer’s disease, and faulty recycling of proteins within cells has been linked to other neurodegenerative diseases,” he says. In this video, Dr. Wszolek and Dr. Ross discuss Parkinson’s disease and the study.

Choreographer and Researcher, Madeleine Hackney Ph.D., Emory School of Medicine leads the performance with partner Ben Jackson, a Person with Parkinson’s who was diagnosed at the age of 28. Clinical research studies continue to demonstrate physical benefits of the Argentine Tango for People with Parkinson’s Disease. Parkinson’s Disease is a chronic, progressive, neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system. PD symptoms are cognitive and non-motor as well as the more commonly recognized movement disorder symptoms. The CDC reports Parkinson’s as the underlying cause of death for more than 20000 Americans every year. Currently, there is no treatment for Parkinson’s Disease, and there is no cure. There is only treatment for certain symptoms of PD, all of which progress every day. See how you can help, Please visit gaparkinsons.org today!

Scientists report first step in strategy for cell replacement therapy in Parkinson's disease

GabrielaSharpe19 — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:29:09 +0000

( IOS Press ) Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) are a promising avenue for cell replacement therapy in neurologic diseases. For example, mouse and human iPSCs have been used to generate dopaminergic neurons that improve symptoms in rat Parkinson's disease models. Reporting in the current issue of the Journal of Parkinson's Disease, a group of scientists from Japan evaluated the growth …
