#ParkinsonsDisease patients may be summed up into "Unyielding strength in trembling steps", but the disease itself is a lot more complex 🧠🌷

Great start of the weekend with my friends from Alianza Parkinson Cali in Colombia!
Talking about PD genetic research and the importance of their participation. More than 300 of them have already enrolled in @LARGE_PD !! 👏👏👏

Interesting, low doses promote longevity.. Wonder what that's all about🤔

The #ROS generator paraquat affects #Celegans #lifespan in a dose-dependent manner: low doses promote #longevity, whereas higher doses increase #mortality. #mitohormesis https://t.co/3R9wJTTVVX
