Default ALZFORUM article: Genetic Findings Link PD to Crohn's Disease, and to Inflammation

"... LRRK2 inhibitors being developed for PD might help people with Crohn's disease, while anti-inflammatory approaches could benefit Parkinson's patients ..."

"These data tell us that Parkinson's is, at least in part, an inflammatory disease ..."

"The data support the idea that PD might result from the long-term consequences of a transient infection that touches off chronic inflammation and alpha-synuclein accumulation in people with certain genetic susceptibilities ..."

I'm now considering the addition of an anti-inflammatory to my list of medications/supplements.
