Meta-metabolomics?!? Ok If that is what it takes Researchers identify 11 metabolites that are differentially abundant between #Parkinsons (n=50), prodromal PD (n=30) & control cases (n=50); β-glutamate⬆️in PD and prodromal PD https://t.co/9kUPbS90Tb

Combination therapies! #Alzheimers is doing it, why isn't #Parkinsons? Human transcriptomic & drug repurposing analyses identify letrozole & irinotecan for AD; Medical records=⬇️lower AD risk in people exposed to letrozole or irinotecan; Rescues AD models https://t.co/JAHgv5hKl3
