We had a fantastic time meeting the PICC cohort in person. There are some truly exciting projects emerging from this incredible group 🙌

21 miles, completed it! ✅
A huge thank you to Graeme, Andy, Sean, Steph, Rob and Andy M for taking on this challenge to help #StopThePain for people living with EB.

Neuroinflammation contributes to #neurodegeneration 🧠Here we explored the value of inflammation-related biomarkers in Parkinson’s Disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and Alzheimer’s disease, and identified disease-specific biomarker panels

Debate persists: are DLB & PDD distinct phenotypes? 🧠 In a study by @mc_gonzalez_MD in @MDCP_Journal, we showed that DLB and PDD patients experienced similar rates of cognitive and motor decline. This is relevant for future clinical trial designs.

That’s a wrap for #ADPD2023 ! What an amazing congress with so many great people. See you all in Lisbon for #ADPD2024 when we’ll try to remember to take a lab photo with everyone! Congrats to @mc_gonzalez_MD and @JoGrodem for staying until the very end!
Feeling really inspired after my supervisor Dr. Jodi Maple-Grødem's presentation on GCASE activity and the LONG-TERM RISK of cognitive decline in PD. #adpd23@ParkinsonNKB
If you’re one of the 4000 people lucky enough to be at #ADPD2023, please come and talk to us today about some of our newest biomarker work, presented by Johannes Lange (#657) and @mc_gonzalez_MD (#348)
(1/2) Breaking news: A large phase 3 trial of ambroxol currently used to treat cough inflammation is to start in early 2023. This world-first trial will aim to establish its potential to slow the progression of Parkinson’s.

A population-based longitudinal study showed that reduced cerebrospinal fluid lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase activity at the time of #PD diagnosis is associated with an increased risk for PD #dementia. @GreenJournal

It was wonderful to welcome Dr Hayley MacDonald from the University of Bergen today and hear about her work on behavioural, neurophysiological and genetic mechanisms of impulse control #Parkinson
It is great to be back in person for the annual ParkWest meeting, bringing together some of the people who make the Norwegian ParkWest study possible and hearing about the exciting work coming from this diverse team! #Parkinsons
Interesting: GCase activity at time of diagnosis was lower in #Parkinsons patients who developed dementia within 10 years than in those who did not (p = 0.001). A 0.1 unit reduction in baseline GCase activity was associated with a faster development of PDD

Congratulations to our team at @ParkinsonNKB on the publication of exciting work showing that CSF GCase activity at PD diagnosis is linked to the future risk of dementia. These results could have important implications for #clinicaltrials in #parkinsons https://t.co/F6ou20uaj2
