Fungal Mould Implicated in Parkinson’s Disease? (NHS Choices / Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America)

Posted on November 18, 2013 by Dementia and Elderly Care News

Summary A recent NHS Choices critical appraisal has covered research which has been misunderstood by the media as implying that living in mouldy environments can increase the risk of developing Parkinson’s Disease. Researchers exposed fruit flies to 1-octen-3-ol; a molecule … Continue reading →
