Effect of ghrelin gene knockout on the postsynaptic potential of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of mice [PDF]

精准医学杂志
Objective To study the effect of ghrelin gene knockout on the postsynaptic potential of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of mice. Methods Substantia nigra tissue was taken from 10-week-old ghrelin-/- male mice (ghrelin-/- group) and their ...

KIF1A‐Mediated Axonal Transport of Netrin‐1 in iPSC‐Derived Human Forebrain Neurons

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Netrin‐1 is a secreted laminin‐like protein that functions as a guidance cue for axon pathfinding in development. Netrin‐1 also modulates synapse formation in developing neurons and long‐term potentiation in mature neurons. Netrin‐1 is expressed in human neurons; however, its intracellular distribution and trafficking have not been assessed ...

New MRI diagnostic methods in Parkinson's disease: evaluating nigral degeneration

Анналы клинической и экспериментальной неврологии, 2019
Research Center of Neurology, Moscow, Russia Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with a characteristic pathological hallmark of loss of the dopaminergic neurons in the compact part of the substantia nigra in the ...

β‐Hydroxybutyrate reduces neuronal excitability via GIRK channels

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
β‐Hydroxybutyrate decreases neuronal excitability by activating GIRK channels through HCAR2 signaling, providing a cellular mechanism that may contribute to the antiseizure effects of the ketogenic diet. Abstract Objective The ketogenic diet is used to treat drug‐resistant epilepsy, yet the molecular mechanisms coupling metabolic state to seizure ...

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

Intense exercise increases dopamine transporter and neuromelanin concentrations in the substantia nigra in Parkinson’s disease

npj Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by a progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons. Exercise has been reported to slow the clinical progression of PD.

The basal ganglia and the epilepsies

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The basal ganglia are an evolutionarily conserved neural circuit best known for the selection and sequencing of voluntary movement. Increasing evidence, however, indicates that these structures also play an important role in regulating pathological brain states, including seizures.

Probiotic Spore Inspired Oral Drug Delivery System With Multiple‐Barriers‐Crossing Ability Modulates Gut‐Brain Axis for Parkinson's Disease Therapy

Exploration, EarlyView.
Inspired by the germination of probiotic spores, we utilize the excellent characteristics of spores to break through multiple barriers of oral brain‐targeted delivery. Besides the probiotics mediated gut‐brain communication, the spore coat proteins derived nanosystems with multiple‐barriers‐crossing ability alleviate neurodegeneration.

Somatic cell reprogramming for Parkinson's disease treatment

Ibrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 59-73, Spring 2025.
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
