Stearoyl-CoA Desaturases in Neurodegeneration and Immunity in Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a serious brain disorder that affects movement, and quality of life for over 10 million people worldwide. Current treatments ease symptoms but do not slow or stop the disease. To develop better therapies, we need to understand the underlying biological processes that drive PD.

Peripheral immune signatures of neurodegeneration in isolated REM sleep behavior disorder: an MRI-neuroinflammation study

In isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), that safety switch fails: people may talk, shout, punch, or kick during sleep. iRBD is important because most people with it will later develop a brain disease like Parkinson’s disease or dementia with Lewy bodies.
