Melinda Barkhuizen: When Neurology Meets Hematology – Parkinson’s Disease Genes in Platelets
Melinda Barkhuizen, Computational Biologist at Evotec, shared Kill Parkinson‘s post on LinkedIn:
“It was quite interesting to see that several Parkinson’s associated genes – including alpha-synuclein – are also highly expressed in platelets.”
Kill Parkinson shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Platelets are primarily known for their essential role in blood clotting.
However, growing evidence suggests they may also be involved in Parkinson‘s disease through mechanisms linked to inflammation, vascular function, and neurodegeneration.
In this post, we explore the role of platelets in Parkinson’s disease and discuss a recent finding reporting an association between the anti-platelet medication Clopidogrel and PD. ”
