NEW YORK, NY--Ask any neurologist: Parkinson's disease is a brain disorder. The conspicuous symptoms of Parkinson's disease—uncontrollable tremors, slowed down motions, and the feeling that one's feet are stuck to the ground—all stem from the loss of neurons in a region of the brain that helps control movement. But many researchers believe that the neurodegenerative disorder may get started far away from the brain—in the gut—and years before the first neurological signs appear. New findings by Columbia researchers David Sulzer, PhD , and Dritan Agalliu, PhD , and two of their graduate students are adding to evidence backing this hypothesis—and showing that what triggers initial gastrointestinal changes in Parkinson's could be a misdirected immune attack.

They distributed puffy circles of fried dough and other sweets on a quiet street in the bustling city then known as the marble capital of the country for its vast quarries. Today, the marble industry has faded, but is still going strong, having weathered the Great Depression (and Recession), World War II, the Rutland flood of 1947, and a global pandemic.

Movie,' said in a recent interview that he had so much fun playing the villain in the animated film—and here's why: 'Let's face it, many times a movie is only as good as its evil villain. Like, what would ‘Star Wars' be without Darth Vader? 'You've got to have them; you've got to have the dark. To have the good, you also need to have the evil. So, it feels great to flex that evil muscle. It's a necessary and powerful ingredient in the soup—it's the spice.

American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) A previously uncharacterized adhesin protein specific to a human fungal pathogen first discovered in 2009 plays a crucial role in the fungus's ability to colonize a variety of living and non-living surfaces, and in its virulence, according to a new study. "These findings [about Candida auris] offer insight into the genetics and molecular mechanisms by which [this fungus] mediates surface association, a trait critical to the increasing disease burden of this emerging pathogen," write the authors.
