Thanks for sharing! Check out our latest work which focuses on NOX2 activity in PD, the downstream effects of elevated NOX2 and how it might contribute to pathogenesis. Huge thank you to all of the co-authors who helped out with this study. Excited to continue to learn more

Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate with us. Together we raised, $4 million to bring an end to #Parkinsons. Visit our website for more highlights: bit.ly/3Fvxm58

Interesting - University of Pittsburgh researchers report on the in vitro & in vivo neuroprotective actions of a fatty acid nitroalkene in models of #Parkinsons; It activated Nrf2-regulated gene expression & inhibited NOX2 & LRRK2 hyperactivation nature.com/articles/s4153…

A twist of fate indeed Tim is an amazing researcher who has been instrumental in #Parkinsons research in many different ways. This is a hard, but also amazing story to read science.org/content/articl…

Interesting: New research from Vik Khurana Lab & colleagues presents a toolbox for "screenable iPSC 'inclusionopathy' models utilizing piggyBac or targeted transgenes to rapidly induce CNS cells that express aggregation-prone proteins at brain-like levels" cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

Studying the mechanistic action of pesticides within humans is difficult. Dr. Briana De Miranda shares how these products are studied within the lab and how they influence the development of Parkinson’s disease. Tiago Outeiro @bdemiranda loom.ly/M3RKMlY
