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

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

Levodopa influence on turning dynamics in people with Parkinson’s disease
Turning behaviors are affected in people with Parkinson’s disease (PwPD) leading to falls and Freezing of Gait (FOG). Levodopa therapy is commonly recommended for PwPD to help alleviate motor symptoms.

Levodopa-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson disease: Current and Evolving Concepts. [PDF]
Levodopa‐induced dyskinesia is a common complication in Parkinson disease. Pathogenic mechanisms include phasic stimulation of dopamine receptors, nonphysiological levodopa‐to‐dopamine conversion in serotonergic neurons, hyperactivity of corticostriatal ...

ABSTRACT Background MR Spin TomogrAphy in Time‐domain (MR‐STAT) enables accelerated multiparametric relaxometry (T1/T2). Previous relaxometry studies predominantly compared Parkinson's disease patients with healthy controls (HC). The potential of relaxometry to distinguish neurodegenerative from non‐neurodegenerative parkinsonism in clinically ...

Abstract Background Clinical outcome assessments (COAs) are essential for evaluating symptom severity, treatment response, and disease progression in Parkinson's disease (PD). As clinical knowledge evolves, it is necessary to revisit the recommendation status on the COAs to ensure their continued relevance and validity. Objectives To provide an updated
