All ranked Parkinson’s papers
Large epidemiological and bibliometric study links exposure to several metals (notably iron, cadmium, lead, mercury) with increased neurodegenerative disease risk and mortality and identifies ferroptosis (GPX4, lipid peroxidation, NLRP3) as a central mechanistic hub connecting metal dyshomeostasis…
For Parkinson's therapeutic discovery this paper strengthens the case for targeting ferroptosis and metal handling (iron chelation, GPX4 support, ferroptosis inhibitors) as translational strategies informed by population-level exposure data, though it lacks direct PD-specific mechanistic or…
In a rotenone-induced rat model of Parkinson's disease, the vasodilator naftidrofuryl produced neuroprotective effects associated with upregulation/modulation of PINK1/Parkin signaling and reduction of ER stress markers.
Highlights repurposing potential for an approved drug that targets mitochondrial quality control and ER stress—mechanisms strongly implicated in PD—offering a tangible preclinical lead for further translational validation.
In an MPTP-induced rodent model of Parkinson’s disease, the plant sterol stigmasterol showed neuroprotective effects that the authors attribute to restoration of ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) gene expression.
Targeting UPS dysfunction is directly relevant to proteostasis and alpha‑synuclein clearance, so a compound that restores UPS gene expression in vivo offers a plausible, actionable neuroprotective lead despite being preclinical and requiring further validation and translational assessment.
A review proposing modulation of the BDNF/TrkB/CREB neurotrophic signaling axis as a neuroprotective strategy in Parkinson’s disease, covering therapeutic approaches such as BDNF delivery, TrkB agonists, gene therapy and lifestyle interventions.
Targeting BDNF/TrkB/CREB is mechanistically relevant and offers multiple translational avenues to protect dopaminergic neurons, but the missing abstract and likely review nature limit immediate experimental or clinical actionability.
A news-style claim that plastic waste was converted into a compound described as a potential Parkinson's drug, but no abstract or mechanistic, preclinical, or translational details are provided.
If true, converting waste into novel chemical scaffolds could offer a green source of new lead compounds, but the lack of target, mechanism, validation, or models makes this of very limited immediate value for Parkinson's therapeutic discovery.
Retraction note for a study that reported effects of novel calpain inhibitors in a transgenic Parkinson's disease/dementia with Lewy bodies animal model; the original findings have been withdrawn.
Although calpain inhibition is a biologically plausible neuroprotective avenue in PD, the retraction and lack of accessible data render this work unreliable and of minimal immediate value for therapeutic discovery.
This is a retraction note for a preclinical study that had reported timed-release titanate nanospheres delivering Cerebrolysin reduced Parkinson's-related brain pathology and improved behavioral outcomes, with no abstract provided.
The retraction and missing abstract make the results unreliable and not actionable for therapeutic development, though the general idea of nanocarrier delivery of trophic/neuroprotective agents could be worth rigorous, reproducible follow-up if validated.
Systematic review of 55 cases and cohort data describing a spectrum of movement disorders (most commonly opsoclonus-myoclonus and cerebellar syndromes, with parkinsonism in ~12.7% of cases) associated with scrub typhus that are typically reversible with generally good outcomes.
Low direct value for Parkinson's therapeutic discovery, but it underscores infection-triggered, often inflammatory and reversible parkinsonism phenomena that are relevant for differential diagnosis and may marginally inform hypotheses about infection/inflammation contributing to movement-disorder…
Title-only report suggesting sleep deprivation drives mitochondrial dysfunction but provides no abstract or data.
Mitochondrial dysfunction and sleep loss are relevant to Parkinson's pathogenesis and could point to modifiable risk factors or mitochondrial-targeted therapies, but the lack of detail prevents immediate translational or actionable value.
Protocol paper describing the INSPIRE randomized controlled trial evaluating an interdisciplinary, intersectoral care approach for Parkinson's patients in a specialized German network.
Useful for clinical care delivery, trial design, and implementation insights but offers limited direct mechanistic or therapeutic-discovery value due to lack of intervention/biomarker details and no abstract provided.
This clinical study examines caregiver burden associated with impulse control disorders, depression, and apathy in people with parkinsonism.
While clinically relevant for patient management and quality-of-life, the paper offers little actionable mechanistic or therapeutic insight for Parkinson's drug discovery.
A review of clinical trials in GBA1-associated Parkinson's disease that argues for implementing molecular classification to improve trial design and therapeutic targeting.
Emphasizing GBA1-linked lysosomal dysfunction and the need for molecular stratification is directly relevant to targeting glucocerebrosidase pathways and developing biomarker-guided, disease-modifying therapies for PD.
A hypothesis-generating pharmacologic profile that proposes repurposing sargramostim (GM‑CSF) for PD by outlining immunomodulatory and potential neuroprotective mechanisms but provides no new primary data.
Although lacking primary results, the paper highlights a concrete, repurposable therapeutic (sargramostim) that targets neuroinflammation and regulatory T‑cell pathways, offering translational rationale and trial-ready hypotheses for biomarker-driven interventional studies.
This paper describes a nano-plasmonic SERS-based serum fingerprinting method aimed at detecting Parkinson's disease signatures and monitoring therapeutic response noninvasively.
If validated, a sensitive serum SERS fingerprint could serve as a minimally invasive biomarker platform to track disease progression and treatment effects, improving clinical trial readouts and patient monitoring despite lacking direct mechanistic or therapeutic interventions.
This study uses explainable AI to extract gait features that differentiate Parkinson's disease and indicate sensitivity to deep brain stimulation.
Explainable, DBS-responsive gait biomarkers offer translational value for patient selection and objective monitoring of therapeutic response, but the work is clinical/phenotypic and lacks molecular or mechanistic targets for drug discovery.
Based on the title, the paper reports using mobile EEG in Peru to derive scalable biomarkers for Parkinson's disease; the abstract is not provided.
Low-cost, portable EEG biomarkers could enable broader screening, remote monitoring, and patient stratification for clinical trials—useful translational tools even though they do not directly illuminate therapeutic mechanisms.
Title suggests evaluating neurogenesis as a biomarker of disease modification in Parkinson’s disease, but the absence of an abstract prevents assessment of methods, data, or translational claims.
If substantiated with robust, actionable measures, neurogenesis could become a useful readout for neuroprotective or disease‑modifying interventions and help de-risk clinical trials, but current missing details limit immediate therapeutic utility.
Observational study from a Brazilian cohort examining relationships between olfactory dysfunction, cognitive performance, and educational level in people with Parkinson's disease.
Findings could help refine clinical biomarkers or risk stratification for cognitive decline in PD but offer limited direct mechanistic or therapeutic targets for drug discovery.
Only a correction notice is provided here; the original paper reportedly evaluated Acacia jacquemontii across in vitro, in vivo, and in silico models for Parkinson’s therapeutic potential, but no abstract or data are available to assess findings.
A validated multi-model demonstration of neuroprotective mechanisms or active compounds from Acacia jacquemontii could yield natural-product leads for Parkinson’s drug discovery, but the absence of accessible experimental details prevents judging its translational value.
The paper reports that a single deuterium-for-hydrogen substitution within the CAG repeat tract of ATXN2 stabilizes the repeat by reducing secondary-structure formation, and that CAA interruptions produce a similar but weaker stabilizing effect.
ATXN2 CAG expansions are implicated in neurodegenerative risk including parkinsonism, so identifying intrinsic stabilizers of repeat expansion advances mechanistic understanding and potential genetic-risk modulation strategies, but the D/H isotope approach is unlikely to be directly translatable as…
