5-Hydroxy-tryptophan for the treatment of l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in the rat Parkinson's disease model

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2013
The serotonin system has recently emerged as an important player in the appearance of l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) in experimental models of Parkinson's disease, as it provides an unregulated source of l-DOPA-derived dopamine release in the dopamine ...

Strain‐Programmable Luminescent Adhesive Patch With Tartrazine‐Mediated Optical Skin Clearing for Photochemical Tissue Bonding

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We propose a suture‐complementary approach that integrates optical skin clearing with a strain‐programmable luminescent adhesive patch. Hyaluronic acid promotes transdermal delivery of tartrazine to improve optical clearing and stabilizes its interaction with a photosensitizer. Optical clearing increases the penetration depth of visible light into skin,

l-3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine induces ptosis through a GPR143-independent mechanism in mice

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2016
Through its conversion to dopamine by aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC), l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA) replenishes depleted brain dopamine in Parkinson's disease patients. We recently identified GPR143 as a candidate receptor for l-DOPA.

Enzyme‐Loaded Fe3+‐Modified Polydopamine Microparticles: Bioreactor Systems for Operating Biocatalytic Cascades, Enantioselective Transformations and Sensor Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Enzyme‐loaded Fe3+‐modified polydopamine microparticles (Fe3+‐PD) act as hybrid biocatalytic frameworks demonstrating NADH peroxidase‐mimic catalytic activities, operation of biocatalytic cascades in confined media, and enantioselective oxidation of D/L‐DOPA. ABSTRACT We report on the synthesis of Fe3+‐modified porous polydopamine microparticles acting

The Multimodal Serotonergic Agent Vilazodone Inhibits L-DOPA-Induced Gene Regulation in Striatal Projection Neurons and Associated Dyskinesia in an Animal Model of Parkinson’s Disease

open access: yesCells, 2020
Levodopa (L-DOPA) treatment in Parkinson’s disease is limited by the emergence of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia. Such dyskinesia is associated with aberrant gene regulation in neurons of the striatum, which is caused by abnormal dopamine release from ...

Turning Water Into a Tool: From Degradation Pathways to Functional Engineering in Halide Perovskites

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Water exhibits a threshold‐dependent dual role in lead halide perovskites, acting either as a degradation trigger or as a powerful tool for defect passivation, recrystallization, and structural engineering. This review discusses how controlled water‐mediated interactions govern stability, dimensionality, and optoelectronic performance, providing ...
