- Nature, Published online: 04 November 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-03173-1 Parkinson’s disease might develop in the gut before reaching the brain, and the environment could have a crucial role in triggering the disease.
- Nature, Published online: 04 November 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-03169-x The disease is thought to be divided into two subtypes, depending on where it originates in the body — the gut or the brain.
- Nature, Published online: 04 November 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-03171-3 Brains are resilient. Harnessing their self-protective mechanisms might help to prevent or slow the progression of this neurodegenerative condition.
- Nature, Published online: 04 November 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-03167-z Most Parkinson’s therapies aim to reduce the motor-control symptoms that the disease triggers. But stem-cell transplants in the brain could alter the disease at a more fundamental level.
- Nature, Published online: 04 November 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-03165-1 Researchers are reporting encouraging results for a disease that affects millions of people worldwide.
