Parkinson’s Disease Patients Have More Inflammatory Bacteria in Their Noses

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease characterized by nigrostriatal degeneration resulting in bradykinesia, rigidity, tremor, and gait dysfunction. Non-motor symptoms are also typically present, including depression, constipation, and alteration of smell. Diminished sense of smell (hyposmia), is a common hallmark of prodromal PD. More...

Bacterial Communities Diverge in The Lower Airways of CF Children

Chronic airway infection and inflammation resulting in progressive, obstructive lung disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). Culture-independent, molecular approaches have broadened the view from a few individual pathogens to more complex and dynamic polymicrobial communities. More...
