Lab is exploring brain links to Parkinson's

The National Institute on Aging considers Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a brain disorder. Other descriptions characterize it as a progressive, neurodegenerative disorder. Scientists know there is a loss of brain cells that produce dopamine, which regulate one’s voluntary movements.
But there’s a disturbing limit to what we truly understand about this disorder. According to the NIA, “scientists still do not know what causes cells that produce dopamine to die.” One investigator with a research laboratory in the Van Andel Institute’s Department of Neurodegenerative Science wants to figure that out.

The lab, with its focus on PD, wants to know more about how cells and cell-to-cell communication in the brain are affected by Parkinson’s. The Chu Lab is on a mission to “identify mechanisms that contribute to progressive degeneration of midbrain dopaminergic neurons, and abnormal circuit activity that underlies the devastating motor ....

eLife is pleased to announce that it is supporting PREreview to pilot an interactive peer review mentoring program that empowers early-career researchers to contribute to scholarly review.
PREreview Open Reviewers is designed by the team behind PREreview.org, a platform for the crowdsourcing of preprint reviews, to support early-career researchers to build their profile as socially conscious, constructive peer reviewers. To bring focus on barriers in scientific participation, the program will facilitate discussions with both mentors and mentees about how intersecting systems of oppression, such as racism, sexism and colonialism, manifest within the global scientific enterprise. Mentees will be guided by their mentors in writing and posting preprint reviews that will be published with a digital object identifier. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to netw ....
