Level of glial neurotrophic factor in the blood plasma depending on the duration of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To study the level of glial neurotrophic factor in the blood plasma depending on the duration of PD. Background: Study of the biochemical aspects…Effects of exosomes devised from dopaminergic neurons overexpressing α-synuclein on autophagy and inflammation in microglia
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the exosomes secreted by dopaminergic neurons over-expressing α-synuclein could regulate the inflammation of microglia via…Activated microglia contribute to MPTP-induced impairment of cardiovascular function
Objective: To investigate the contribution of microglia in MPTP-induced loss of adrenergic neurons and impairment of cardiovascular function. Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative…The interaction between iron metabolism and inflammation in Parkinson´s disease: an in vivo and post mortem study
Objective: To assess the relationship iron and inflammatory markers in an in vivo and post mortem study of Parkinson´s disease subjects. Background: Although neuroinflammation and…Microglia as modulators of exosomal alpha-synuclein transmission
Objective: It is highly desirable to make clear the underlying mechanism of exosomes-involved communication in the synucleinopathy pathogenesis. Background: Emerging evidence suggests that exogenous pathogenic…Nurr1 gene: A new research target for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The objective of our study is to determine if Nurr1 gene, a transcription factor essential for dopamine (DA) neuron development and survival, is a…Role of microglia in the transmission of α-syn-containing exosomes
Objective: we investigated the role of microglia in the transmission of α-syn-containing exosomes and offer a new insight into the mechanism of PD pathogenesis. Background:…Partial depletion of peripheral M1 macrophages ameliorates the neuroinflammation and dopaminergic neuronal death in the brain of a MPTP-induced mouse model of PD
Objective: Neuroinflammation in the PD brain involves the activation of microglia and the increasing levels of inflammatory cytokines. Several studies have shown that the peripheral…Neuroinflammation in the substantia nigra is triggered by synucleinopathy and precedes nigral degeneration
Objective: To determine the relationship between synucleinopathy, neuroinflammation and nigrostriatal degeneration using the rat α-syn PFF model. Background: No therapy exists to halt or slow…DJ-1 regulates intracellular signaling in a highly cell type specific manner
Objective: To evaluate a cell type specific action of DJ-1, a PD and cancer associated gene, in intracellular signaling pathways. Background: Understanding the pathophysiology of…
