New ASAP-supported research examines cellular pathways and genetic modifiers that may shape #Parkinsons disease biology and progression.
This thread highlights recent work on guanosine nucleotide metabolism, mitophagy, ciliary signaling, and LRRK2-linked motor progression.
Jagdeep Singh Aujla shares his #WPC2026 story! 🌎 Applications are now open for WPC 2029 Ambassadors. ❤️
Arvinas presented early biomarker data on ARV-102, an oral drug built to clear the LRRK2 protein, at a major Parkinson’s meeting.

New ASAP-supported research examines how neuromelanin, astrocytes, and inflammatory vulnerability may contribute to #Parkinsons disease biology.
This thread highlights recent work from CRN Teams Vila and Kirik.
Monopoli et al. demonstrate that Parkinson’s disease patients with early hallucination-related phenomena show reduced MRI-derived volume of neuromodulatory brainstem nuclei, most robustly the left laterodorsal tegmental nucleus.

P.s. personal interest beyond professional educator. Wilhelm wrote one of the first and best descriptions of stages of #parkinsons ...small world full of serendipity :)
Congratulations to Dr Ana Drobez and Dr Jernej Drobez on winning First Prize for their oral presentation at EBPOM Global Ireland 2026.
"Intranigral AAV8-Irisin delivery did not produce statistically significant improvement in either motor performance or dopaminergic neuron survival" in a preclinical #Parkinsons (AAV9-A53T mouse) model. Peripheral AAV8-Irisin had no impact as well

Beautifully captured my friend #Parkinsons #ForJanet ❤️
More #Tulips and you may need to don sunglasses for this flashback photo from RHS Wisley gardens in late Spring. A riot of pink, red, green and blue, the last colour provided by #Hyacinths.

A year-long trial finds that NAD-boosting supplements didn't improve symptoms in early Parkinson's - and may have led to modestly worse outcomes vs placebo. 🧠❗
