Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Dopamine D2 receptor upregulation in dorsal striatum in the LRRK2-R1441C rat model of early Parkinson’s disease revealed by in vivo PET imaging

Scientific Reports
We conducted PET imaging with [18F]FDOPA and dopamine D2/3 receptor ligand [18F]fallypride in aged transgenic rats carrying human pathogenic LRRK2 R1441C or G2019S mutations.

Brain-derived and in vitro-seeded alpha-synuclein fibrils exhibit distinct biophysical profiles

eLife
The alpha-synuclein (αSyn) seeding amplification assay (SAA) that allows the generation of disease-specific in vitro seeded fibrils (SAA fibrils) is used as a research tool to study the connection between the structure of αSyn fibrils, cellular seeding ...

Essential Tremor and Parkinson’s Disease: Exploring the Relationship

Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements, 2019
Background: There is longstanding controversy surrounding the possible link between essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). Inconsistent and unreliable diagnostic criteria may in part account for some of the difficulties in defining the ...

Axonal Modulation of Striatal Dopamine Release by Local γ-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) Signalling

Cells, 2021
Striatal dopamine (DA) release is critical for motivated actions and reinforcement learning, and is locally influenced at the level of DA axons by other striatal neurotransmitters. Here, we review a wealth of historical and more recently refined evidence

Adaptaquin is selectively toxic to glioma stem cells through disruption of iron and cholesterol metabolism

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Adaptaquin selectively kills glioma stem cells while sparing differentiated brain cells. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses show Adaptaquin disrupts iron and cholesterol homeostasis, with iron chelation amplifying cytotoxicity via cholesterol depletion, mitochondrial dysfunction, and elevated reactive oxygen species.

Live Imaging of Axonal Transport in the Motor Neurons of Drosophila Larvae

Bio-Protocol, 2017
Axonal transport, which is composed of microtubules, motor proteins and a variety of types of cargo, is a prominent feature of neurons. Monitoring these molecular dynamics is important to understand the biological processes of neurons as well as ...

Impulsive and Compulsive Behaviors in Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2014
Impulsive and compulsive behaviors (ICBs) are a heterogeneous group of conditions that may be caused by long-term dopaminergic replacement therapy (DRT) of Parkinson's disease (PD). The spectrum of ICBs includes dopamine dysregulation syndrome (DDS), punding, and impulse control disorders (ICDs).We made a detailed review regarding the epidemiology ...
