Physics of Protein Aggregation in Normal and Accelerated Brain Aging
Soluble monomeric proteins precipitate via nucleation into insoluble amyloids in response to age‐related exposures (e.g., microbes, nanoparticles). Persistent soluble‐to‐insoluble phase transition depletes the functional proteins. In normal aging, replacement matches loss; in accelerated aging, it does not.

Functional correlates of optic flow motion processing in Parkinson’s disease [PDF]
The visual input created by the relative motion between an individual and the environment, also called optic flow, influences the sense of self-motion, postural orientation, veering of gait, and visuospatial cognition.

Manganese Neurotoxicity and Familial Disorders of Manganese Transport
ABSTRACT Manganese is the 12th most common element in the Earth's crust and is an essential industrial component. Biologically, this metal plays an important role as a constituent of numerous enzymes. While manganese is required for normal biochemical and physiological processes, manganese excess can lead to significant toxicity, particularly to the ...

Progress of non‐motor symptoms in early‐onset Parkinson's disease
This study reviews the research progress related to non‐motor symptoms (NMS) in patients with early onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD), including neuropsychiatric symptoms, autonomic dysfunction, sleep disorders, and sensory disorders and also summarizes the characteristics of NMS in the genetic form of Parkinson's disease (PD).

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 ...

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

PET Studies of Cerebral Levodopa Metabolism: A Review of Clinical Findings and Modeling Approaches [PDF]
[18F]Fluoro-3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-l-alanine (FDOPA) was one of the first successful tracers for molecular imaging by positron emission tomography (PET), and has proven immensely valuable for studies of Parkinson’s disease.

The Gut‐Brain Axis in Parkinson disease: Emerging Concepts and Therapeutic Implications
Abstract Background The gut‐brain axis, i.e. the bidirectional communication system between the gut and the brain, has become of central importance in Parkinson disease (PD) research over the past 20 years. Aims We aimed to describe the milestones of the gut‐brain axis research in PD and the development of theories proposing the involvement of the ...
