Cellular switch discovery offers hope for Parkinson's treatment
5 октября 2025 Сообщено ИИ
Scientists have identified a key cellular regulator called PP2A-B55alpha that balances mitochondrial health, potentially leading to new therapies for Parkinson's disease. In preclinical models, reducing its activity improved motor symptoms and mitochondrial function. The findings, published in Science Advances, could extend to other mitochondrial disorders and cancer.
Blood test identifies Parkinson's years before symptoms

Scientists have developed a blood-based test that detects Parkinson's disease up to seven years before the onset of symptoms. The test targets abnormal alpha-synuclein proteins and shows high accuracy in at-risk individuals. This breakthrough could enable earlier treatments to slow disease progression.
