I'm re-watching Shrinking seasons one and two after the end of season three and they're surprisingly re-watchable and fun :)

Mitochondrial Transplant Reverses Disease

Scientists just transplanted healthy mitochondria into diseased cells -- and reversed Parkinson's, Leigh syndrome, and mtDNA depletion. In Cell.

As a medical school professor, I can tell you this is one of the most important papers of 2026. Chinese researchers solved the delivery problem that's challenged mitochondrial medicine for decades.

Good idea: convert plastic into parkinsons meds

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/plastic-bottles-transformed-parkinsons-drug-b2939376.html

Plastic bottles have been transformed into a drug to treat Parkinson’s disease using bacteria, a study has shown.

It is the first time a natural, biological process has been used to turn plastic waste, which would otherwise end up in landfill, into a drug for a neurological disease to help improve people’s lives.

Jesse Jackson’s misdiagnosis of Parkinson’s is common – new genetic discovery could lead to treatment for this deadly disease -

Like Rev. Jackson, they misdiagnosed me and it took them a long time to DX my Multiple System Atrophy. RIP Rev. Jackson. The "Parkinson's" part of these illnesses are just foreplay for the disease that is to come.

Parkinson-plus syndromes are characterized by the primary features of Parkinson disease, including bradykinesia, ataxia, resting tremor, and rigidity but also include additional features, depending on which subset.

I will be glad when they break Parkinson-plus syndromes away from Parkinson's completely. Many doctors don't even know what they are and they are becoming more common.

COVID research is leading to new discoveries and treatment of PPS. One area seeing strides is POTS. There was no money for POTS in medical research until COVID made it a standard ailment of Long COVID.

Parkinson-plus syndromes include multiple system atrophy (MSA) (formerly known as Shy–Drager syndrome), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and corticobasal degeneration (CBD), Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), Pick's disease and olivopontocerebellar atrophy.

Parkinson’s Disease Market Report 2035 📊

The Parkinson’s disease market is projected to grow from $3.62B in 2025 to $3.92B in 2026, driven by rising neurodegenerative disease prevalence, aging populations, and advances in dopamine & non-dopamine therapies.

Innovations like levodopa-based treatments and deep brain stimulation are shaping future care.
