Somatic cell reprogramming for Parkinson's disease treatment
The fundamental purpose of cell reprogramming to treat Parkinson's disease is to generate dopaminergic neurons (DAN) and do transplantation. There are two ways to accomplish this. One method is to induce cells into induced DA neurons (iDAN) directly or to induce cells into induced pluripotent stem cells and ultimately into iDAN in vitro. Another option

Characterization of Vitamin B12 Supplementation and Correlation with Clinical Outcomes in a Large Longitudinal Study of Early Parkinson's Disease. [PDF]
ObjectiveIn Parkinson's disease (PD), vitamin B12 levels are lower, and comorbid B12 deficiency has been associated with the development of neuropathy and early gait instability.

Development of a controlled-release anti-parkinsonian nanodelivery system using levodopa as the active agent. [PDF]
A new layered organic-inorganic nanocomposite material with an anti-parkinsonian active compound, L-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) alanine (levodopa), intercalated into the inorganic interlayers of a Zn/Al-layered double hydroxide (LDH) was synthesized using a ...

In the freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease, white matter shows decreased local activity but increased functional connectivity. These distinct dysfunctions are uniquely associated with specific neurotransmitter systems (GABA, dopamine, etc.), mapping a new neurochemical basis for this debilitating symptom. ABSTRACT Freezing of gait (FOG) is a severe

Long-term Effects of Cabergoline and Levodopa in Japanese Patients with Early Parkinson’s Disease: A 5-Year Prospective Study [PDF]
Several international studies have suggested that treatment of early Parkinsonʼs disease (PD) with a dopamine agonist instead of levodopa delays the occurrence of motor complications.

Indirubin and Retinoic Acid Show Binding Affinity to Monocyte Biomarker CSF3R in Parkinson's Disease
Through single‐cell RNA‐sequencing and high‐dimensional weighted gene co‐expression network analysis, two monocyte‐related biomarkers (CSF3R, IFITM3) were identified in the peripheral blood of Parkinson's disease. Molecular docking revealed two targeted drugs (Indirubin and Retinoic acid).

Abstract Background Apathy is a common early symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), often co‐occurring with cognitive decline and associated with fronto‐striatal and mesocortico‐limbic dysfunctions. Discrepancies between self‐ and caregiver‐reported apathy have been preliminarily associated with cognitive impairments affecting patients’ awareness and ...

Investigating Sleep Concerns in Cervical Dystonia
Abstract Background Heterogenous, small cohorts, and co‐occurrence of pain and psychiatric burden complicate understanding of sleep in dystonia. Objective To investigate sleep concerns in cervical dystonia (CD). Methods Longitudinal data from CD‐PROBE on subjects who were toxin‐naïve, new to practice, or without injections for at least 16 weeks were ...
