CSF inflammatory and cell death biomarkers in Huntington’s disease – An exploratory cross-sectional study
Objective: This exploratory work intended to study general inflammatory cytokines, microglial activation markers, and neuronal cell death markers in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of HD…Diverse effects of alpha-synuclein fibrils on various neuron cell lines, using different buffers
Objective: To investigate the neurotoxic properties of alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) aggregation in different buffers including PBS, SBF and Tris on altered cell lines, SHSY5Y, SK-N-MC and…Autophagic modulation by rosuvastatin prevent rotenone induced neurotoxicity as an in vitro model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We investigated effects of statin on autophagy markers and evaluated the neuroprotective effect of rosuvastatin from rotenone induced neurotoxicity. Background: Recently, autophagy pathway is…Investigation into the genetic etiology in South African Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To investigate the genetic etiology in a group of South Africa Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Background: The genetic etiology of PD is complex and…Protective effects of ATP13A2 in Parkinson’s disease models
Objective: Decipher the role of ATP13A2 in Parkinson's disease. Background: ATP13A2 is a lysosomal P-type ATPase with significant implications in Parkinson's disease (PD). Little is…Drp1 inhibition amelioratesα-synuclein-mediated neurodegeneration in rats
Objective: To provide new insights on the relationships occurring between mitochondria physiology and α-synuclein (α-syn) accumulation in an animal model of progressive neurodegeneration. Background: In…Cellular senescence induced by paraquat drives neuropathology associated with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To understand the role of cellular senescence in brain aging and neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease models. Background: Although cellular senescence has been causally linked…Lewy body extracts from Parkinson’s disease brains as models for high-throughput screens of neurotoxicity and α-synuclein spreading from cell-to-cell
Objective: To validate the effect of Lewy body extracts from Parkinson's disease (PD) brains in high-throughput screens of neurotoxicity and the α-synuclein (α-syn) spreading from…Piper longum L. alkaloids inhibit lipopolysaccharide-stimulated microglial activation and protect nigral dopaminergic neurons
Objective: The ethanol-extracted alkaloids from the dry seeds of Piper longum L. (PLL) (family Piperaceae) PLA contain numerous compounds. We evaluate the potential of PLA…Characteristics of the interaction between different toxic aggregated species of alpha-synuclein and cell membrane
Objective: To determine (1) the interaction rate of each toxic aggregated species of alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) with cell membrane compare to the monomeric form, (2) the…
