Assessment of neuronal morphology to determine the differential susceptibility to Parkinson’s disease using MPTP in two genetically distinct mice strains
Objective: To delineate the contribution of neuronal-dendritic structure in the substantia nigra and striatum, in conferring differential susceptibility to Parkinson’s disease, using two genetically distinct…RNA binding protein mediated regulation of striatal transcriptome in Parkinson’s disease.
Objective: To investigate the role of RNA binding protein Elavl in Parkinson’s disease related adaptive changes in the striatal transcriptome. Background: Elav-like (Elavl or Hu)…Changes in GABAergic transmission of striatal neurons in presymptomatic Huntington’s Disease
Objective: To determine whether parameters of synaptic and extrasynaptic GABAergic inhibition of striatal projection neurons are altered in presymptomatic BACHD mice. Background: One attractive early…Dissecting the molecular mechanisms of Fyn-mediated levodopa induced dyskinesias
Objective: To investigate the crosstalk between D1 receptor (D1R) and the signaling of Fyn protein kinase in a mice model of levodopa (L-DOPA) induced dyskinesias…Striatal PDE10 expression in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and healthy controls using [18F]MNI-659 PET imaging
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of [18F]MNI-659 PET, a striatal PDE10A imaging tracer, as a imaging biomarker in PD. Background: PDE10 is highly and specifically…Altered glutamate response and calcium dynamics in iPSC derived striatal neurons from XDP-patients
Objective: Our objective was to generate an in vitro model of XDP based on striatal neurons differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), followed by…
