ABSTRACT Given the inevitability of human and animal exposure to acrylamide, there is increasing concern regarding its potential health risks. While a number of molecular mechanisms have been proposed, the complexity of acrylamide toxicological pathways and interactions remains incompletely characterized.

Modeling Parkinson’s Disease in Drosophila: What Have We Learned for Dominant Traits?
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is recognized as the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer’s disease. Unfortunately, there is no cure or proven disease modifying therapy for PD.

ABSTRACT The skin is far from a passive shield; it functions as a dynamic “living barrier” whose structural and immunological integrity is paramount in preventing atopic dermatitis (AD) and the subsequent progression of the atopic march toward food allergy (FA).

Risk stratification and targeted neuroprotection in Parkinson disease utilising the glucocerebrosidase pathway [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Glucocerebrosidase mutations represent genetically the most significant risk factor for Parkinson disease, however their penetrance is incomplete and variable such that only a minority of glucocerebrosidase mutation carriers will develop ...

Misfolding mutations in pancreatic lipase have been identified as potential contributors of chronic pancreatitis, an inflammatory disease of the human pancreas. Here, we describe the effect of these misfolding mutations on pancreatic lipase structure using molecular dynamics simulations and structural modeling.

Glucocerebrosidase in the pathogenesis and treatment of Parkinson disease [PDF]
In PNAS, Sardi et al. describe that viral vector-mediated increase in glucocerebrosidase enzyme (GCase) activity can reverse synuclein-related pathological features and improve behavioral function in the D409V mouse model of Gaucher disease (GD) (1). This important study has several implications for our understanding of the pathogenesis of Parkinson ...

Association Between Glucocerebrosidase Mutations and Parkinson's Disease in Ireland
Multiple studies implicate heterozygous GBA mutations as a major genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD); however, the frequency of mutations has never been examined in PD patients from the Irish population.

Mitophagy in skeletal muscle: Impact of ageing, exercise and disuse
Abstract Skeletal muscle plays an important role in whole‐body health, quality of life and regulation of metabolism. The maintenance of a healthy mitochondrial pool is imperative for the preservation of skeletal muscle quality and is mediated through mitochondrial quality control consisting of mitochondrial turnover mediated by a balance between ...

Comparative study on glucocerebrosidase in spleens from patients with Gaucher disease
In Gaucher disease (glucosylceramide lipidosis), deficiency of glucocerebrosidase causes pathological storage of glucosylceramide, particularly in the spleen.
