Scientists Discover Genetic Mutation That Causes Parkinson's Disease
A large team of international researchers have identified a new genetic cause of inherited Parkinson's disease that they say may be related to the inability of brain cells to handle biological stress.

Protein Linked to Parkinson's Disease May Regulate Fat Metabolism
National Institutes of Health researchers have found that Parkin, an important protein linked with some cases of early-onset Parkinson's disease, regulates how cells in our bodies take up and process dietary fats.

Exercise for PD: More Fun Water Activities to Try Before the Summer Ends!
Working out in the water can be very beneficial if you have Parkinson's disease (PD), says the American Parkinson's Disease Association. Having PD can affect your gait and make walking challenging. You may tend to hold your arms stiff as you walk and take quick, short shuffling steps. To help combat this, try water walking.

Breakthrough in Stem Cell Growth Measures
Scientists in Scotland experienced a significant breakthrough in Parkinson's disease research this week when researchers reported successfully growing stem cells from the skin of a patient with a rapidly progressing form of the disease.

Protein Intake and PD Medication Absorption
Patients with Parkinson's disease commonly experience a general slowing of the digestive system, which can affect the efficiency of nutrient absorption. Recently, we wrote about the absorption benefits of timed meal plans. Timing your protein intake is an especially important aspect.
