Antibody-based Therapies May Trigger Brain Inflammation

New research suggests that brain inflammation is the likely reason antibody-based therapies are ineffective in clinical trials for people with Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. The findings show that the binding of the antibody to its target protein — in the case of Parkinson’s disease the misfolded alpha-synuclein —…

Inbrain Raises $16.8M to Advance ‘Intelligent’ Neurostimulator for Parkinson’s

Inbrain Neuroelectronics has raised  $16.8 million in Series A financing to support moving into clinical testing a new neuromodulation device that uses computer learning to treat Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy. Electrodes for this next-generation neurostimulator are also based on graphene, a single layer of tightly bound carbon  atoms that allows…

Magnetic Nanoparticles May Help Restore Brain Function

Magnetic nanoparticles may help restore brain function by directing nerve cell growth, a new study shows. Researchers believe this technology has therapeutic potential and may be used in the development of new treatments for Parkinson’s disease, The study, “Magnetic spatiotemporal control of SOS1 coupled nanoparticles for guided neurite growth in…
