@worldpdcongress.bsky.socialA lovely #throwback of the walk to the ballgame & a whole lot of connection before #WPC2026! ⚾️❤️ Thanks @visitphoenix.bsky.social & Arizona Diamondbacks #Parkinsons
@scienceofpd.bsky.socialA systematic review found only weak evidence that residential exposure to PM2.5 & NO2, air pollutants which are released by combustion processes such as traffic & industry, could increase the risk of developing #Parkinsons

@scienceofpd.bsky.socialIn a study of 74 advanced #Parkinsons patients undergoing bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation, preoperative glymphatic asymmetry was associated with motor outcomes, independent of levodopa responsiveness & clinical covariates

@scienceofpd.bsky.socialNew research proposes that "De novo #Parkinsons can be classified into 2 distinct metabolic subtypes: fronto-striatal hypometabolic & mixed hypermetabolic–posterior hypometabolic, with nonmotor manifestations being more severe in the latter"

@peakhealthonline.bsky.socialNew Parkinson’s disease research: Randomised trial shows #Propeaq light therapy glasses significantly improve sleep quality (p < 0.001); and reduce daytime sleepiness (p = 0.001). Read full analysis at: peakhealthonline.com/blog/parkins...
@scienceofpd.bsky.socialResearchers report that nigral iron content (as measured by zero-referencing quantitative susceptibility mapping) "can be used to track disease progression in early-stage #Parkinsons" over a 1-year timeframe

@medbridgenz.bsky.socialConsidering a Parkinson’s stem cell trial in China? Our guide shows how to check the trial ID, hospital site, recruitment status, consent and costs before booking travel.

@scienceofpd.bsky.socialResearchers provide "a comprehensive evaluation of the VPS35 protein interactome and reveals a selective effect of the #Parkinsons-linked D620N mutation in mammalian cells & brain"

@scienceofpd.bsky.socialA cross-sectional analysis of individuals with #Parkinsons (n=776; aged ≥50 yrs; mean age, 69.6yrs) demonstrates "older retinal age relative to chronological age. Retinal age gap may serve as a biomarker of accelerated aging in PD"
movementdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
@scienceofpd.bsky.socialA projection & health-augmented macroeconomic modelling study estimating the economic burden of #Parkinsons in China (2020–40) demonstrates a "need for more specific regional health policies in line with the long-term care, diagnosis, & treatment for PD"

Researchers present microneedle-based continuous levodopa monitoring in healthy volunteers & participants with #Parkinsons; An inverse correlation betwn the levodopa PK & the corresponding motor performance was observed

@scienceofpd.bsky.socialAn integrated study of bioinformatics & the A53T mouse model of #Parkinsons is used in a new report on the role of mitochondrial NDUFA11; NDUAF11 was significantly elevated in the PD mouse model & knockdown could worsen the mitochondrial dysfunction

@scienceofpd.bsky.socialAs we explore CAR T-cell therapy for #Parkinsons, others are trying to understand CAR T-cell therapy–associated Parkinsonism; New letter discusses the need for phenotype characterization & targeted management
movementdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
@scienceofpd.bsky.socialResearchers present "LLPSense", a machine learning framework that integrates protein language model embeddings with environmental parameters. It achieves accurate, condition-aware predictions of protein phase separation; Highlights #Parkinsons α-synuclein

@asapresearch.parkinsonsroadmap.org🎉 The 2026 CRN Annual Investigators Meeting brought ASAP’s global research community together to accelerate progress in #Parkinsons research.
By connecting teams across disciplines, datasets, & research questions, the meeting underscored how collaboration can help advance discovery.
@scienceofpd.bsky.socialThey report robust⬆expression of many ERV loci in #Parkinsons microglia in the nigra & putamen, but not in the PFC or amygdala; Also⬆️L1 expression in microglia in the same brain regions; Data suggests that TEs "may mediate transcriptional alterations associated with PD"
@scienceofpd.bsky.socialInteresting! New paper describes the presence of an interferon response in microglia in the substantia nigra & putamen that is mechanistically linked to the transcriptional activation of transposable elements in the #Parkinsons brain

@parkinsonseurope.bsky.social"We can consciously choose to take life with Parkinson's as lightly as possible"💚
We talk to the creator of 'Now more than ever: Living positively with Parkinson's' podcast, Kathrin Wersing, about her diagnosis journey and the power of sharing real-life stories.
