German researchers find cellular differences between sexes that open the door to creating personalized treatments against parkinson.
Men are more likely to develop Parkinson's disease than women. For decades, research has been concerned with why this is so. New results provide a decisive indication of one of the greatest mysteries of the disease.
Study uncovers genetic clues behind sex differences in Parkinson's disease
New research presented today (Wednesday) at the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) Forum 2026 has discovered some of the genetic changes in brain cells that may help to explain why more men than women develop Parkinson's disease.
Why do men have higher risk? Brain cell study finds clues - Health Care Today
Parkinson’s disease affects males more often than females, and a new study sheds light on why this might be. The study concludes that genetic changes in brain cells may provide a clue. In particular, the researchers conclude that epigenetic changes based on an individual’s genetic makeup might be particularly important. Better understanding sex differences in Parkinson’s disease will hopefully help scientists understand the condition and design …
