Parkinson’s Disease (PD) impacts as many as 500,000 Americans, though some estimates put that number as high as 1 million. There is currently no cure for PD, which means that healthcare providers are constantly on the lookout for effective therapeutic treatments to improve patients’ quality of life. Now, researchers at the Scripps Research Institute have developed a new …

Alzheimer’s Disease, or AD, is an incurable neurodegenerative condition that generally appears in individuals over the age of 65. However, scientists now believe that certain predictors can appear in a patient’s brain decades before symptoms appear — specifically, malfunctioning mitochondria. With that in mind, researchers at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) recently posed an …
