How I Track My Biological Cycles With Parkinson’s Disease

I’ve written previously about how Parkinson’s disease (PD) “breaks” the biological clock that regulates our wake-sleep cycle, disrupting our daily routines and sleep. For me, it manifests most acutely during “off periods,” when everything in my body shuts down. As a 2020 article published in The American…

2 Blood Biomarkers of Parkinson’s Seen in Multi-step Protein Analysis

Levels of two mitochondrial-related proteins, clusterin and VPS35, may accurately diagnose Parkinson’s disease using a single blood drop, findings from a new study suggest. The research also suggests that a translational approach — one that moves from cell lab work to patients — which also incorporates relevant protein…
