This review integrates recent structural and biochemical advances to explain how PINK1 activates Parkin and how PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy is regulated and integrated with other cellular stress responses.
By defining molecular determinants and regulatory nodes in the PINK1/Parkin pathway, the paper highlights actionable targets and mechanisms for drug discovery, biomarker development, and therapies aimed at restoring mitochondrial quality control in Parkinson's disease.
Case report of anti‑IgLON5 disease presenting as Pisa syndrome with strong anti‑IgLON5 antibody positivity and marked clinical improvement after rituximab over 24 months.
Useful clinically because it highlights an immune‑mediated mimic of a Parkinsonian postural deformity and responsiveness to B‑cell immunotherapy, but offers limited direct mechanistic or broad therapeutic discovery insight for Parkinson's disease.
Review synthesizing mechanistic links between iron and copper dysregulation and regulated cell death (ferroptosis and cuproptosis), highlighting brain-penetrant chelators (e.g., SK4), radical-trapping agents (e.g., CuII(atsm)), and the 'iron trap' mechanism that connects copper deficiency to…
Provides actionable, translationally relevant targets and delivery strategies (LAT1-targeting, site-specific chelation, ferroxidase biomarkers, glutathione/ATP readouts) that could be prioritized for neuroprotective therapeutic development and repurposing in Parkinson's disease.
This review synthesizes evidence that the histamine H4 receptor (H4R) exerts context-dependent, dual roles in neuroinflammation—promoting NF-κB/MAPK-driven pro-inflammatory microglial and T-cell responses that worsen MS and PD pathology while under some conditions engaging JAK/STAT/PI3K-Akt…
H4R is a druggable GPCR with existing ligands, so resolving its cell- and disease-stage specific signaling bias could enable repurposing or development of H4R-targeted therapies to modulate neuroinflammation and potentially protect dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease.
This review compiles evidence that macroalgae- and microalgae-derived compounds (e.g., phenolics, carotenoids, phycobiliproteins, fatty acids) exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic neuroprotective effects in in vitro and in vivo models relevant to Parkinson's disease and…
It surfaces a diverse set of marine natural-product leads acting on neuroinflammation and oxidative-stress pathways relevant to PD—valuable for early-stage lead discovery and hypothesis generation—while being a review limits direct, immediate translational action.
This review identifies overlapping gut microbiome changes in aging and Parkinson's disease—most notably increased Akkermansia and Alistipes and decreased butyrate-producing genera (Faecalibacterium, Blautia)—suggesting reduced microbial butyrate as a shared feature.
By linking age-related loss of butyrate-producing microbes to PD-associated dysbiosis, the paper highlights microbial metabolites and restoration of butyrate producers as actionable therapeutic targets and important factors for patient stratification in microbiome-directed interventions.
This review summarizes advances and persistent challenges in engineering and delivering PROTACs to the CNS — covering BBB-penetrant formulations (viral vectors, exosomes, nanoparticles, intranasal routes) and molecular optimization (E3 ligase choice, linker properties, CPPs, prodrugs) to improve…
By outlining practical delivery platforms and rational design levers to get targeted degraders into the brain, the paper provides actionable direction for developing PROTAC strategies against Parkinson's-relevant, otherwise hard-to-drug targets such as alpha-synuclein and other neurodegeneration…
Narrative review synthesizing evidence that physical activity, a Mediterranean diet, caffeine/tea consumption may be protective and pesticide exposure increases risk, while highlighting advances in prodromal diagnosis and gaps in implementing primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention for…
Provides a useful translational overview to guide prevention-focused trial design and risk‑stratified interventions, but offers limited mechanistic or molecular targets for immediate drug-discovery translation.
This systematic review concludes that isoquinoline derivatives are promising multitarget scaffolds showing inhibitory activity against neurodegeneration-related enzymes in vitro and early preclinical models but lack standardized in vivo and clinical validation.
The paper flags isoquinolines as attractive lead chemotypes for Parkinson's drug discovery due to multitarget enzyme modulation, providing medicinal chemistry direction while emphasizing the need for BBB, pharmacokinetic, safety, and in vivo efficacy studies for translation.
Systematic review of 23 mostly low-quality studies (381 participants) reporting that singing-based interventions—particularly those incorporating LSVT principles and group vocal exercises—can improve phonation, prosody, respiratory control and aspects of quality of life in people with Parkinson’s…
Provides moderate translational value as supportive, low-risk symptomatic therapy for PD-related hypokinetic dysarthria and guidance to combine singing with established voice therapy (LSVT), but offers little mechanistic or disease-modifying insight for therapeutic discovery.
This systematic review and meta-analysis of 46 studies reports that people with Parkinson disease have modestly greater white matter hyperintensity burden and increased midbrain enlarged perivascular spaces versus controls, while differences in cerebral microbleeds and lacunes were not significant.
The results implicate neurovascular unit dysfunction and cerebral small vessel disease as potential contributors or biomarkers in PD—offering a rationale for imaging-based stratification and exploration of vascular- or clearance-targeted interventions—though evidence is low quality and largely…
This systematic review of 164 studies finds widespread structural and functional alterations in olfaction-related brain regions—reduced olfactory bulb volume, orbitofrontal, hippocampal, insular and amygdala changes, white matter abnormalities, and heterogeneous fMRI/PET/EEG findings—with only…
Because hyposmia is a common prodromal feature of Parkinson's disease, the review's aggregation of imaging correlates (including dopaminergic deficits on DAT imaging and consistent orbitofrontal involvement) highlights candidate neuroimaging biomarkers that could help identify and stratify…
Review consolidating the biomarker evidence for repurposing antidiabetic medications in Parkinson’s disease, linking proposed mechanisms (metabolic, inflammatory, mitochondrial) to clinical trial outcomes and identifying gaps in biomarker strategies.
By cataloguing biomarkers and mechanistic rationales for antidiabetic agents in PD, the paper helps prioritize measurable endpoints for disease‑modification trials and highlights methodological gaps whose resolution could accelerate repurposing efforts.
A review that compares healthy and disease-altered BBB states and outlines pathology-directed, brain-targeted drug delivery strategies—covering Parkinson's disease among other conditions.
Provides a translational framework for tailoring PD therapeutics to disease-specific BBB changes and improving delivery approaches, but remains a review with limited PD-specific mechanistic or actionable therapeutic leads.
This review surveys nanoparticle platforms (polymeric, liposomal, micellar, metallic, carbon-based) and transcytosis mechanisms to cross and repair the blood–brain barrier and modulate oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways to improve CNS drug delivery for neurodegenerative diseases including…
BBB-targeted nanotechnology could materially improve delivery of neuroprotective or disease-modifying therapies and mitigate inflammation/oxidative stress relevant to PD, offering translational promise despite the review's broad scope and limited clinical/safety detail.
A general autopsy case report documenting systemic Acrophialophora sp. infection with central nervous system angioinvasion in an immunocompromised patient who also had Parkinson's disease.
This report has minimal direct value for Parkinson's therapeutic discovery but is clinically relevant by highlighting diagnostic challenges and the need to consider opportunistic fungal CNS infections in immunocompromised patients with PD, which could affect patient management rather than drug…
This review argues that human stem cell-derived models recapitulate patient-specific PD pathologies—including neuroinflammation, microglia–neuron interactions, α-synuclein aggregation, and mitochondrial dysfunction—and explores how micro- and nanoplastics may exacerbate PD-relevant…
Human stem cell platforms improve translational relevance for mechanistic studies and target validation (inflammation, α-synuclein, mitochondria) and identify environmental modifiers (micro/nanoplastics) that could guide novel intervention targets or risk-reduction strategies.
This review covers intranasal solid lipid nanoparticles (65–210 nm) as a noninvasive platform for direct brain delivery, summarizing in vitro/in vivo findings, patents, and trials across multiple CNS indications including Parkinsonism.
Intranasal SLNs offer a translationally promising route to bypass the BBB and deliver neuroprotective or disease-modifying agents to the brain for Parkinson's, but the paper is a broad delivery-focused review with little Parkinson-specific mechanistic or efficacy data.
