Chronic inhibition of LRRK2 as a therapeutic target in PD: how safe will it be in humans?
We are excited to share the publication of our latest research that explored the molecular effects of long-term pharmacological LRRK2 inhibition in vivo. This comprehensive study was completed by Ph.D. candidate Jillian H. Kluss in the lab of Dr. Mark R. Cookson at the National Institute on Aging, NIH.
Research Snapshots: Drs. Malú Tansey and Madelyn Houser
By Todd Taylor New research provides insight into how inflammation, bacterial populations and levels of short-chain fatty acids, or SCFAs, might be linked to the development of Parkinson’s disease. The study, published in the journal Molecular Neurodegeneration, was co-authored by Malú Tansey, co-director of UF’s Center for Translational Research in…

Research Snapshot: Drs. Cara Croft and Todd Golde
New preclinical research led by UF neuroscientists shows that tau proteins, considered a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease pathology, build up in brain cells of mice and continue to be cleared. The novel finding published in the journal Acta Neuropathologica indicates that reversing pathological tau formations could be possible. Understanding the…
