Scientific Reports, 2023 The interplay between α-synuclein (α-syn) and catechols plays a central role in Parkinson’s disease. This may be related to the modulating effects of catechols on the various aspects of α-syn fibrillization. Some of these effects may be attributed to the

Adsorption mechanism and valency of catechol-functionalized hyperbranched polyglycerols [PDF]
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2015 Nature often serves as a model system for developing new adhesives. In aqueous environments, mussel-inspired adhesives are promising candidates. Understanding the mechanism of the extraordinarily strong adhesive bonds of the catechol group will likely ...

Decoding crosstalk between neurotransmitters and α-synuclein in Parkinson’s disease: pathogenesis and therapeutic implications [PDF]
Therapeutic Advances in Neurological DisordersParkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, characterized by progressive worsening of motor symptoms. The primary pathological hallmark of PD is the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the ...

Activation of the Nrf2 Cell Defense Pathway by Ancient Foods: Disease Prevention by Important Molecules and Microbes Lost from the Modern Western Diet. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The Nrf2 (NFE2L2) cell defense pathway protects against oxidative stress and disorders including cancer and neurodegeneration. Although activated modestly by oxidative stress alone, robust activation of the Nrf2 defense mechanism requires the additional ...
