LRRK2 phosphorylates pre-synaptic N-ethylmaleimide sensitive fusion (NSF) protein enhancing its ATPase activity and SNARE complex disassembling rate [PDF]

, 2016
Background Lrrk2, a gene linked to Parkinson\u2019s disease, encodes a large scaffolding protein with kinase and GTPase activities implicated in vesicle and cytoskeletal-related processes.

Rehabilitation and Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]

Parkinson's Disease, 2012
Early after the turn of the century, much excitement was generated by the reports of Tillerson et al. [1, 2] that exercise appeared to protect against neuronal degeneration in rodent models of toxin-induced parkinsonism. Such findings, coupled with epidemiologic suggestions that persons with a history of moderate to vigorous exercise may have a ...

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

Personalized iPSC-Derived Dopamine Progenitor Cells for Parkinson's Disease.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2020
We report the implantation of patient-derived midbrain dopaminergic progenitor cells, differentiated in vitro from autologous induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), in a patient with idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

Cyclic nucleotide signaling as a drug target in retinitis pigmentosa

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Disruptions in cGMP and cAMP signaling can contribute to retinal dysfunction and photoreceptor loss in retinitis pigmentosa. This perspective examines the mechanisms and evaluates emerging evidence on targeting these pathways as a potential therapeutic strategy to slow or prevent retinal degeneration.

Visual exploration in Parkinson’s disease and Parkinson’s disease dementia [PDF]

Brain, 2013
Parkinson's disease, typically thought of as a movement disorder, is increasingly recognized as causing cognitive impairment and dementia. Eye movement abnormalities are also described, including impairment of rapid eye movements (saccades) and the fixations interspersed between them.

Long non‐coding RNAs as therapeutic targets in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and clinical application

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) occupy an abundant fraction of the eukaryotic transcriptome and an emerging area in cancer research. Regulation by lncRNAs is based on their subcellular localization in HNSCC. This cartoon shows the various functions of lncRNAs in HNSCC discussed in this review.

Microglia depletion reduces neurodegeneration and remodels extracellular matrix in a mouse Parkinson’s disease model triggered by α-synuclein overexpression

npj Parkinson's Disease
Chronic neuroinflammation with sustained microglial activation occurs in Parkinson’s disease (PD), yet the mechanisms and exact contribution of these cells to the neurodegeneration remains poorly understood.

Gastrointestinal Biopsies for the Diagnosis of Alpha-Synuclein Pathology in Parkinson’s Disease

Gastroenterology Research and Practice, 2015
The diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) relies on clinical features whereas pathological confirmation is only possible with autopsy examination. The neuropathological hallmarks of PD are neuronal loss and the presence of inclusions termed Lewy bodies ...
