Lessons From Yeast: A Possible Cure For Parkinson's Disease?
Source: Neurology / Neuroscience News From Medical News Today [2008.08.16]
Parkinson disease (PD) is a debilitating and lethal neurodegenerative disease, for which there is currently no cure. It is caused by the progressive loss of nerve cells that produce the chemical dopamine and is characterized by the accumulation of abnormal aggregates of a protein called alpha-syn in these dopaminergic nerve cells.

New Research Shows One In 200 People Born With DNA Mutation That Can Lead To Devastating, Often Fatal Disease
Source: Genetics News From Medical News Today [2008.08.12]
The United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation (UMDF) announced landmark research finding that one in every 200 people has a DNA mutation that could potentially cause a mitochondrial disease in them or their offspring. Mitochondrial disease is a devastating and often fatal disease, and mitochondrial disorders are at the core of many well known diseases and chronic illnesses, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and autism spectrum disorders.
In Scientific First, Einstein Researchers Correct Decline In Organ Function Associated With Old Age

As people age, their cells become less efficient at getting rid of damaged protein - resulting in a buildup of toxic material that is especially pronounced in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and other neurodegenerative disorders.

Scientists Replicate Diseases In The Lab With New Stem Cell Lines
Source: Diabetes News From Medical News Today [2008.08.08]
A set of new stem cell lines will make it possible for researchers to explore ten different genetic disorders-including muscular dystrophy, juvenile diabetes, and Parkinson's disease-in a variety of cell and tissue types as they develop in laboratory cultures. Researchers led by Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator George Q. Daley have converted cells from individuals with the diseases into stem cells with the same genetic errors.
Recipe For Cell Reprogramming Adds Protein - Embryonic-Like Stem Cells Can Be Created Without Cancer-Causing Gene
Source: Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today [2008.08.07]
A drug-like molecule called Wnt can be substituted for the cancer gene c-Myc, one of four genes added to adult cells to reprogram them to an embryonic-stem-cell-like state, according to Whitehead researchers. Researchers hope that such embryonic stem-cell-like cells, known as induced pluripotent (IPS) cells, eventually may treat diseases such as Parkinson's disease and diabetes.
