"Beyond the Tremors: Living Well with Parkinson's Disease", a new documentary from the Adewunmi Desalu Parkinson's Foundation (ADPF), provides a glimpse into the journey of three individuals living with Parkinson's disease (PD). ADPF is on a mission to support and advocate for individuals with PD and has hosted recruitment drives for PPMI and GP2 at its site in Lagos, Nigeria. Through this video, the group continues to raise awareness by bringing the stories of their members to the world in a way that highlights the impact of providing care and resources for people living with #ParkinsonsDisease.

📣 In a recent preprint, Team Lee assesses the metabolism of alpha-synuclein aggregates in various #brain cells, including neuronal cells, microglia, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. Check out the preprint to learn more! https://bit.ly/3YWIOAz
Internalized α-synuclein fibrils become truncated and resist degradation in neurons while glial cells rapidly degrade α-synuclein fibrils

📣 Haloperidol, an antipsychotic used to treat neuropsychiatric diseases, has side effects that can mimic #PD symptoms, including motor deficits. Here, Team Awatramani assesses the relationship between LRRK2 kinase activity and haloperidol-induced motor changes. https://bit.ly/3YPU9Cn
LRRK2 mediates haloperidol-induced changes in indirect pathway striatal projection neurons

ASAP is celebrating Team Hardy this Team Tuesday. Explore their featured output, which describes the team's analysis of the genetic basis of levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) in #ParkinsonsDisease and their investigation on whether LID-associated mechanisms are distinct from general PD progression.
