This post may be of interest to the armchair scientists among us, especially those with MSA and LBD.
There was a “beautiful study” published this Thursday in the journal Cell that focused on animal research in Parkinson’s Disease. It could have implications for multiple system atrophy and Lewy body dementia, other alpha-synuclein pathologies. This isn’t human research but certainly ties into a lot about what we know about problems in the guts of those with Parkinson’s Disease.
For the details, check out this Alzforum post on the research done at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena:
