Exosomes—nanoscale particles that are produced by all types of cells and circulate in the bloodstream—have proven to be reliable markers for the effectiveness of an experimental drug for Parkinson’s disease (PD) in a new study. The research, jointly...

Milk consumption is a hallmark of western diet. According to common believes, milk consumption has beneficial effects for human health. Pasteurization of cow's milk protects thermolabile vitamins and other organic compounds including bioactive and...

Exosomes are involved in intracellular communication and contain proteins, mRNAs, miRNAs, and signaling molecules. Exosomes were shown to act as neuroinflammatory mediators involved in neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Brain aging has ...

A new blood-based analysis that evaluates the levels and content of tiny vesicles released by red blood cells may help diagnose patients with Parkinson’s disease according to disease stage, researchers suggest. The new method was described in the study...

Increased life expectancy impacts directly on the number of older people worldwide with the associated increase in neurodegenerative diseases. Besides their social implications, the different forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease...

Parkinson’s disease (PD), one of the most common movement and neurodegenerative disorders, is challenging to treat, largely because the blood-brain barrier blocks passage of most drugs. Researchers...
