Too often, chronic pain patients are left to choose between opioids, anticonvulsants for nerve pain and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen and naproxen, all of which present their own negative side effects.</p> Mon, 08 Apr 2024 15:00:59 +0000 Emilie Hackett 1449 at /hbhl Brains on a Dish: Revolutionizing Parkinson鈥檚 Disease research with brain organoids /hbhl/article/research-spotlight-research/brains-dish-revolutionizing-parkinsons-disease-research-brain-organoids <p>Parkinson鈥檚 Disease (PD) affects nearly 100,000 Canadians and 10 million people worldwide. Characterized by a dopamine deficiency in the brain, this neurodegenerative disease disrupts signal transmission in the brain, impacting its proper functioning. Motor symptoms, like tremors, slowness of movement and imbalance problems can appear and deteriorate in patients who have quietly carried the disease for years. Equally devastating are PD鈥檚 lesser-known symptoms, like depression, anxiety, hallucinations, dizziness and sleep disorders.</p> Mon, 19 Feb 2024 21:56:51 +0000 Emilie Hackett 1372 at /hbhl Four Questions for Professor Alan C.
