The Effect of Chronic Treatment with the Inhibitor of Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5), Sildenafil, in Combination with L-DOPA on Asymmetric Behavior and Monoamine Catabolism in the Striatum and Substantia Nigra of Unilaterally 6-OHDA-Lesioned Rats

Molecules
The use of phosphodiesterase inhibitors in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease is currently widely discussed. The study aimed to investigate the impact of acute and chronic treatment with the phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor, sildenafil, at low and ...

L-DOPA Uptake in Astrocytic Endfeet Enwrapping Blood Vessels in Rat Brain

Parkinson's Disease, 2012
Astrocyte endfeet surround brain blood vessels and can play a role in the delivery of therapeutic drugs for Parkinson’s disease. However, there is no previous evidence of the presence of LAT transporter for L-DOPA in brain astrocytes except in culture ...

Multimodal Imaging Reveals Rapid Catecholamine Uptake and Release by Neutrophils

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We show that immune cells (neutrophils) synthesize, uptake, and store catecholamine neurotransmitters such as dopamine or adrenaline. They also release them in response to specific stimuli (serotonin), which we directly visualize using fluorescent nanosensors. We further demonstrate that catecholamines affect neutrophil functions (NETosis) and platelet

Effects of Subchronic Treatment With Selegiline on L-DOPA-Induced Increase in Extracellular Dopamine Level in Rat Striatum

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2006
.: Selegiline is used an adjunct to L-DOPA therapy. We investigated extracellular striatal dopamine (DA) level in awake rats treated with L-DOPA and/or selegiline using a microdialysis method. Rats given 10 mg/kg, i.p.

Tetrabenazine Mitigates Aberrant Release and Clearance of Dopamine in the Nigrostriatal System, and Alleviates L-DOPA-Induced Dyskinesia in a Mouse Model of Parkinson’s Disease

Journal of Parkinson’s Disease, 2022
Background: L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID), occurring with aberrant processing of exogenous L-DOPA in the dopamine-denervated striatum, is a main complication of levodopa treatment in Parkinson’s disease.

Gene Correction Enhances Dopaminergic Cell Therapy in a Nonhuman Primate Model of Parkinson's Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
LRRK2‐mutant induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were derived from a patient with Parkinson's disease (PD). Using CRISPR/Cas9–mediated gene editing, the pathogenic LRRK2 mutations were precisely corrected, and isogenic dopaminergic neural progenitor cells (DA‐NPCs) were subsequently generated.

Multi‐tissue Metabolic GWAS and Drought‐Responsive Multi‐omics Reveal the Genetic Basis of the Quinoa Metabolome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A multi‐omics framework combining multitissue genome‐wide association studies, metabolomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and functional validation uncovers the genetic basis of specialized metabolism in quinoa. The study identifies hundreds of metabolite‐associated loci, prioritizes candidate genes for saponin, betalain, and flavonoid biosynthesis ...

A Disulfide‐Sticker Strategy for Marine Adhesive Coatings: From Deciphering Self‐Assembly Mechanism to Functional Application in Hair Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A disulfide‐sticker strategy, coupled with Ca2+ coordination, drives the hierarchical self‐assembly of a recombinant scallop adhesive protein into fishnet‐like nanostructures, affording a coating with versatile wet adhesion and intrinsic antioxidant activity. This biocompatible coating markedly promotes hair regeneration by activating follicular niches,

Polydopamine Nanoparticle‐Mediated Precise Near‐Infrared Optical Stimulation for Cognitive Enhancement

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Polydopamine nanoparticles enable a precise, non‐genetic, and transcranial neuromodulation strategy via near‐infrared photothermal stimulation. By activating TRPV1 channels, this approach specifically enhances hippocampal gamma oscillations, thereby rescuing spatial memory deficits in models of perioperative neurocognitive disorder.
