Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Lysosome‐targeted acidic nanoparticles based on a biodegradable poly(ethylene tetrafluorosuccinate‐co‐succinate) copolymer are engineered to restore impaired lysosomal acidification through pH‐responsive intracellular degradation. Localized acid release enhances autophagic proteolysis, reduces α‐synuclein accumulation, and preserves dopaminergic neuron

Chronic Nicotine Selectively Enhances α4β2* Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors in the Nigrostriatal Dopamine Pathway [PDF]
, 2009 These electrophysiological experiments, in slices and intact animals, study the effects of in vivo chronic exposure to nicotine on functional α4β2* nAChRs in the nigrostriatal dopaminergic (DA) pathway.

Reward circuitry is perturbed in the absence of the serotonin transporter [PDF]
, 2009 The serotonin transporter (SERT) modulates the entire serotonergic system in the brain and influences both the dopaminergic and norepinephrinergic systems.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Magnetogenetic deep brain stimulation (MG‐DBS) represents a wireless neuromodulation that has demonstrated long‐lasting behavioral benefits in Parkinson's disease models. However, the circuit‐level mechanisms underlying these therapeutic effects have remained uncharacterized due to limitations of conventional neural interfaces.

Advanced MRI-based evaluation of gray and white matter changes in Parkinson’s disease
The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear MedicineBackground Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common movement disorder and the second most common neurodegenerative disease. The aim of our study was to compare gray–white matter changes (GWC) between Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and age-matched ...
