Immune system may mount an attack in Parkinson's disease
(NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) A new study suggests that T cells, which help the body's immune system recognize friend from foe, may play an important role in Parkinson's disease. The study, published in the journal Nature, was supported by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, part of the National Institutes of Health.

NIH launches collaborative effort to find biomarkers for Parkinson's
(NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) The National Institutes of Health has launched a new initiative to help researchers investigate biomarkers for Parkinson's disease, and to help patients learn about and participate in such studies. So far, the NINDS Parkinson's Disease Biomarkers Program has funded nine research teams taking a variety of unique approaches to discover new biomarkers. To support collaboration across these projects and others, the PDBP is introducing a new online platform for investigators to share their data.

Health-related quality of life and economic impact of urinary incontinence due to detrusor overactivity associated with a neurologic condition: a systematic review
Conclusions:
Incontinent patients with underlying neurologic conditions have impaired HRQoL as well as substantial economic burden attributable to UI due to NDO. There is a need for urgency UI treatments that improve HRQoL of these patients and alleviate the economic burden of this condition.

New research findings on the brain's guardian cells
(Lund University) The central nervous system's mop-up crew, microglia, play an important role in protecting the brain against disease and injury. A research group at Lund University in Sweden has now developed a method that makes it possible to follow the behaviour of these support cells at close quarters. Increased knowledge about the specific role of microglia could open the door to new research avenues on several different neurological conditions, such as Parkinson's disease and stroke.
