Rapid Response Innovation Awards, 2007Autophagy in Dopamine Neurons: Clearance of Alpha-synuclein and Neuroprotection
The central hypothesis for the cellular mechanism of Parkinson’s disease is the toxic accumulation of alpha-synuclein, dysfunctional protein clearance and oxidative stress collectively leading to the...

PD Subtypes, 2007Evaluating Novel Predictors of Parkinson's Disease Progression
How the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease progress varies from patient to patient, and it is hard to predict which patients will progress more quickly than others. One way to figure this out is to look...

PD Subtypes, 2007Phenoprofiling PD
Parkinson's disease is generally characterized as a movement disorder. Over the last years, however, there has been an increasing awareness that many people with PD may also suffer so-called "non...

PD Subtypes, 2007Do Clinical Characteristics at PD Diagnosis Predict Survival?
Tremendous efforts have been directed toward the identification of factors that affect the progression of Parkinson's disease, yet to date few factors have been identified. Most studies seeking to...

PD Subtypes, 2007Prognostic factors in early Parkinson’s disease
The progression of Parkinson’s disease is highly variable from patient to patient. It is currently not possible to predict the future course of Parkinson’s disease from early physical signs or...

PD Subtypes, 2007Longitudinal changes in patterns of motor UPDRS subscore
Tremor, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), rigidity (stiffness) and walking/balance impairment are the major signs of Parkinson's disease; a middle-age onset with slow progression is archetypal...
