WELCOME TO OUR PARKINSON'S PLACE!

I HAVE PARKINSON'S DISEASES AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A PLACE WHERE THE CONTENTS OF UPDATED NEWS IS FOUND IN ONE PLACE. THAT IS WHY I BEGAN THIS BLOG.

I COPY NEWS ARTICLES PERTAINING TO RESEARCH, NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE, DEMENTIA, THE BRAIN, DEPRESSION AND PARKINSON'S WITH DYSTONIA. I ALSO POST ABOUT FUNDRAISING FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE AND EVENTS. I TRY TO BE UP-TO-DATE AS POSSIBLE.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT'S CONTENTS. I AM JUST A COPIER OF INFORMATION SEARCHED ON THE COMPUTER. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE COPIES ARE JUST THAT, COPIES AND AT TIMES, I AM UNABLE TO ENLARGE THE WORDING OR KEEP IT UNIFORMED AS I WISH. IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND I AM A PERSON WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE. I HAVE NO MEDICAL EDUCATION,

I JUST WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU WHAT I READ ON THE INTERNET. IT IS UP TO YOU TO DECIDE WHETHER TO READ IT AND TALK IT OVER WITH YOUR DOCTOR. I AM JUST THE COPIER OF DOCUMENTS FROM THE COMPUTER. I DO NOT HAVE PROOF OF FACT OR FICTION OF THE ARTICLE. I ALSO TRY TO PLACE A LINK AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH ARTICLE TO SHOW WHERE I RECEIVED THE INFORMATION SO THAT YOU MAY WANT TO VISIT THEIR SITE.

Hope for Parkinson's disease sufferers as scientists reveal treatment is a step closer

BY   January 16, 2017

A trial in Parkinson’s disease patients is now being planned by one of the researchers involved in the study

Neurons derived from human neural stem cells
Scientists have revealed they are a step closer to a treatment for Parkinson’s disease . 
A naturally-occurring compound has been found to block the molecular process thought to lie behind the condition and could form the basis of a treatment.
The preliminary findings suggest the compound, called squalamine, also suppresses the toxic products associated with the process, researchers at Cambridge University have found. 
Academics stressed further research is needed, and that findings are based on cell cultures developed in the lab and testing in nematode worms.
But the compound has been used in clinical trials for cancer and eye conditions in America, and a trial in Parkinson’s disease patients is now being planned by one of the researchers involved in the study.
The study was led by academics from the Centre for Misfolding Diseases based at Cambridge University and Georgetown University and the National Institutes of Health in the United States.
Chemistry Professor Christopher Dobson, of St John’s College at Cambridge University, said: “To our surprise, we found evidence that squalamine not only slows down the formation of the toxins associated with Parkinson’s Disease, but also makes them less toxic altogether.
“If further tests prove to be successful, it is possible that a drug treating at least some of the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease could be developed from squalamine.”
Co-author Michele Vendruscolo, of Cambridge University, said: “This is an encouraging step forward in our efforts to discover potential drugs against Parkinson’s Disease.”
The findings were published in Proceedings Of The National Academy Of Sciences.
