Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Nature Communications, 2014 The striatum is widely viewed as the fulcrum of pathophysiology in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID). In these disease states, the balance in activity of striatal direct pathway spiny projection neurons (dSPNs) and indirect ...

Altered resting state cortico-striatal connectivity in mild to moderate stage Parkinson’s disease
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2010 Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by dopamine depletion in the striatum. One consistent pathophysiological hallmark of PD is an increase in spontaneous oscillatory activity in the basal ganglia ...

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1989 Dopa is a normal constituent of plasma in man and experimental animals. Dopa concentrations in plasma have been used to reflect the activity of tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of catecholamines. However, it is not known to what extent plasma dopa is affected by feeding, since several foods contain dopa or tyrosine, the ...

Molecular basis of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia : studies on striatal signaling
, 2009 Parkinson s disease (PD) is a neurological disorder characterized by tremor, rigidity and bradykinesia. PD is caused by selective degeneration of the dopaminergic neurons, which originate in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and project to the ...

Striatal proteomic analysis suggests that first L-dopa dose equates to chronic exposure. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 L-3,4-dihydroxypheylalanine (L-dopa)-induced dyskinesia represent a debilitating complication of therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD) that result from a progressive sensitization through repeated L-dopa exposures. The MPTP macaque model was used to study
