In GBA- #Parkinsons, subthalamic nucleus-deep brain stimulation treatment at later stages is associated with⬆️risk of cognitive decline. Earlier STN-DBS in GBA-PD may extend the period of improved motor function before onset of cog. decline

Researchers present the neuroprotective effects of AZP2006 (a PGRN/PSAP complex stabilizer) in several preclinical #Parkinsons models (in vitro & vivo), counteracting mitochondrial damage & toxicity of alpha-synuclein preformed fibril spreading

The work provides a framework for future economic evaluations of disease-modifying therapies in #Parkinsons, recommending an individual-level state-transition (microsimulation) approach for the framework implementation
A evidence review & expert assessment of 30 published economic evaluations reveals gaps that make it challenging to assess the cost effectiveness of a putative disease modifying therapies for #Parkinsons

They found that inhibition of enzymes involved in long-chain unsaturated lipid synthesis reduces α-synuclein toxicity. Medium-chain Triglyceride supplementation rescues αSyn-induced motor impairment. They also observed lower plasma TAGs in #Parkinsons cohorts
New research from @NollenLab & collaborators reports that #Parkinsons-associated α-synuclein progressively alters lipid metabolism in aging C. Elegans; α-syn⬇️overall content of triacylglycerols & disrupts the structure of lipid droplets & mitochondria

Sara Whittingham—United States Air Force Veteran, physician, triathlete, mom, and person living with #Parkinsons — shared her book, Oh Crap! It’s Parkinson’s: A Rebel’s Guide to Taking Back Control of Your Life, at #WPC2026 in Phoenix this past May.
Professor Madeleine Lowery from @ucddublin.bsky.social

This month’s Discover ASAP features Nolwazi Gcwensa, MSc, PhD, on SynDOVE, an accessible protocol for studying synaptic proteins in 3D using confocal microscopy. 🔬
The approach can reveal changes that 2D analysis may miss, offering new insights into #Parkinsons.
