AI uses gene activity patterns to ID Parkinson’s disease pathways

An artificial intelligence (AI)-based software called NetraAI was able to separate subgroups of Parkinson’s disease patients based on their gene activity patterns, helping to better understand the complex pathways that contribute to the neurodegenerative disease. Through the analysis, scientists identified immune signaling as an important disease-related process. The function…

Meditation Helps Me Seek the Quiet Mind

The “pause between” is my new Parkinson’s self-management tool. I use it every day to help me switch from old ways of reacting to the “flicker effect” (dysregulated systems). It provides improved threshold management and mindful movements, which make life easier. The old ways are like a paved…

Newly Launched Valted Seq Working to Discover Disease Pathways, Biomarkers

D&D Pharmatech has launched a new company called Valted Seq, aimed at discovering pathways and biomarkers relevant to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s. To this end, the company claims in a press release to have created the world’s largest repository of single-cell sequencing data. This data comes…
