This study identifies six pesticides linked to increased Parkinson's disease risk through three screens and in vivo testing in zebrafish.

This paper investigates the association between chlorpyrifos exposure and Parkinson's disease risk, finding increased odds of PD with long-term exposure and demonstrating causal mechanisms in animal models.

This paper develops a zebrafish model to study alpha-synuclein spread from gut to brain, showing progressive neuron loss and pathological changes through endogenous expression and exogenous fibril seeding.

The paper combines epidemiological pesticide exposure data with iPSC-derived dopaminergic neuron screening to identify and classify pesticides linked to Parkinson's disease.
