Efficient conversion of astrocytes to functional midbrain dopaminergic neurons using a single polycistronic vector.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Direct cellular reprogramming is a powerful new tool for regenerative medicine. In efforts to understand and treat Parkinson's Disease (PD), which is marked by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain, direct reprogramming provides a ...

Transcription Factor-Mediated Generation of Dopaminergic Neurons from Human iPSCs—A Comparison of Methods

open access: yesCells
Dopaminergic neurons are the predominant brain cells affected in Parkinson’s disease. With the limited availability of live human brain dopaminergic neurons to study pathological mechanisms of Parkinson’s disease, dopaminergic neurons have been generated

Physiological characterisation of human iPS-derived dopaminergic neurons.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) offer the potential to study otherwise inaccessible cell types. Critical to this is the directed differentiation of hiPSCs into functional cell lineages.

Necrostatin-1 protection of dopaminergic neurons

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2015
Necroptosis is characterized by programmed necrotic cell death and autophagic activation and might be involved in the death process of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease. We hypothesized that necrostatin-1 could block necroptosis and give protection to dopaminergic neurons.

Calbindin and Girk2/Aldh1a1 define resilient vs vulnerable dopaminergic neurons in a primate Parkinson’s disease model [PDF]

open access: yesnpj Parkinson's Disease
The differential vulnerability of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) is a critical and unresolved question in Parkinson´s disease.

Function and Regulation of ALDH1A1-Positive Nigrostriatal Dopaminergic Neurons in Motor Control and Parkinson’s Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021
Dopamine is an important chemical messenger in the brain, which modulates movement, reward, motivation, and memory. Different populations of neurons can produce and release dopamine in the brain and regulate different behaviors.

Differentiation of Human Pluripotent Cell-derived Neural Rosettes to Dopaminergic Neurons by Small Molecules

open access: yes, 2023
A major challenge for regenerative medicine is differentiation of pluripotent cells to one of the hundreds of specialized cell types in the human body, without the introduction of animal traits or pathogens that would make them useless for ...

Dopaminergic regulation of orexin neurons [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neuroscience, 2005
AbstractOrexin/hypocretin neurons in the lateral hypothalamus and adjacent perifornical area (LH/PFA) innervate midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons that project to corticolimbic sites and subserve psychostimulant‐induced locomotor activity. However, it is not known whether dopamine neurons in turn regulate the activity of orexin cells.

Tetraspanin (TSP-17) Protects Dopaminergic Neurons against 6-OHDA-Induced Neurodegeneration in C. elegans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease, is linked to the gradual loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra.

Aging-related motor function and dopaminergic neuronal loss in C57BL/6 mice

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2020
Aging-related dopaminergic neuronal loss and its motor phenotypes are well known. Excessive loss of dopaminergic neurons leads to Parkinson’s disease (PD), the most common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of nigrostriatal dopamine ...
