  1. 🚬 A link between carbon monoxide and Parkinson's disease may explain why smokers are at a lower risk of developing the condition, according to international research. The team monitored the health of over 500,000 Chinese adults over 12 years, including 1,131 people with Parkinson's and 2,949 with other neurodegenerative diseases. They investigated the impact of smoking through self-reported smoking frequency and measuring carbon monoxide in breath - usually an indicator of smoking. The researchers say both smoking history and exhaled carbon monoxide were linked to a lower risk of Parkinson's. While smokers generally had higher carbon monoxide levels in their breath, the researchers say non-smokers with high carbon monoxide levels also had a lower risk of Parkinson's - suggesting carbon monoxide may be independently protective against Parkinson's. Australian researchers highlight that smoking increases the risk of a host of different health problems, but say this finding could help us better understand why Parkinson's disease bucks the trend.

  6. Norsk biobank for stamceller er på vei:

    «… I laboratoriet er hudcellene nå i ferd med å programmeres om til å bli såkalte iPS-celler. Altså stamceller som kan gi opphav til alle typer spesialiserte celler i kroppen, for eksempel muskel-, blod- og nerveceller. …

    Neste mål er å kunne reparere skadede organer og ødelagt vev hos de med #ParkinsonsSykdom, alvorlige #hudsykdommer, #hjerteinfarkt og #diabetes. …»

  7. RE: mastodon.social/@theperpetuall

    Time bends differently in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, where movement and memory drift on their own currents 🌊🧠 These shifts in lived time can feel quiet yet immense. If this reflection resonates, the first post in this thread may offer more #Parkinsons #Alzheimers #Neuroscience #TPC8

  8. Paraquat, which is linked to inception of Parkinson's disease, and is banned in more than 70 countries, is not regulated as an air pollutant--so a production plant in Wanesboro, Mississippi releases tens of thousands of pounds into the air each year, without constraint or consequence.

  9. Do Not Eat Pawpaws

    summary - pawpaws contain relatively large amounts of a neurotoxin called annonacin. It is found in smaller amounts in soursop and cherimoya.
