Two new polymorphic structures of human full-length alpha-synuclein fibrils solved by cryo-electron microscopy

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Intracellular inclusions rich in alpha-synuclein are a hallmark of several neuropathological diseases including Parkinson’s disease (PD). Previously, we reported the structure of alpha-synuclein fibrils (residues 1–121), composed of two protofibrils that

Environmental Exposures and Parkinson's Disease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Parkinson's disease (PD) affects millions around the world. The Braak hypothesis proposes that in PD a pathologic agent may penetrate the nervous system via the olfactory bulb, gut, or both and spreads throughout the nervous system. The agent is unknown,

Spreading of alpha‐synuclein – relevant or epiphenomenon? [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, 2019
AbstractThe intracellular accumulation of misfolded alpha‐synuclein pathology, termed Lewy pathology, throughout the brain is a phenomenon central to Parkinson’s disease pathogenesis. In recent years it has become apparent that Lewy pathology can spread from neuron‐to‐neuron and between interconnected brain regions. Understanding the phenomenon of Lewy

Lithium‐Charged Gold Nanoparticles: A New Powerful Tool for Lithium Delivery and Modulation of Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 Activity

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces glutathione‐stabilized gold nanoparticles for targeted lithium delivery (LiG‐AuNPs), enabling the controlled modulation of Glycogen Synthase Kinase‐3 (GSK‐3β). These non‐toxic, 2‐nm particles release lithium intracellularly, effectively inhibiting GSK‐3β in the brain without significant plasma lithium alterations.

Direct visualization of CHIP-mediated degradation of alpha-synuclein in vivo: implications for PD therapeutics. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by Lewy bodies, a pathological hallmark comprised mostly of aggregated alpha synuclein.

Evidence for bidirectional and trans-synaptic parasympathetic and sympathetic propagation of alpha-synuclein in rats

open access: yesActa Neuropathologica, 2019
The conversion of endogenous alpha-synuclein (asyn) to pathological asyn-enriched aggregates is a hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD). These inclusions can be detected in the central and enteric nervous system (ENS).

Alpha-Synuclein

open access: yesDefinitions, 2020
Alpha-synuclein is encoded by the human SNCA gene. This protein plays a role in the modulation of presynaptic vesicle transport and release.

SIRT3 Protects Rotenone-induced Injury in SH-SY5Y Cells by Promoting Autophagy through the LKB1-AMPK-mTOR Pathway. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
SIRT3 is a class III histone deacetylase that modulates energy metabolism, genomic stability and stress resistance. It has been implicated as a potential therapeutic target in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease (PD ...

Alpha-synuclein and transgenic mouse models

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2004
Identified as the cause of some familial forms of Parkinson disease (PD) and as one of the major component of Lewy bodies, alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) became the molecular hallmark of several neurodegenerative conditions now designated as synucleinopathies.

Advancing Clinical Medicine with Raman Spectroscopy: Current Trends and Future Perspectives

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
Raman spectroscopy and microscopy may become excellent tools in clinical medicine, including hematology, oncology, infectious diseases, neurology, gastroenterology, reproductive medicine, rheumatology, and cardiovascular research. However, many challenges such as signal interference, standardization issues, and limited clinical application need to be ...
