The cross-talk between microglia-derived exosomes and brain printing biometrics as a diagnostic approach for Parkinson’s disease prior to motor symptoms implications
Objective: To highlight the efficiency of using microglia-derived exosomes (MDEs) in cross-talk with the BPB technique for the early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) Background:…Nigral microvasculature imaging in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The goal of this work is to image the microvasculature of the midbrain, in particular the substantia nigra in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients using…Lack of Toll-like receptor 4 is associated with accumulation of alpha-synuclein in the midbrain Parkinson’s disease mice.
Objective: In this study we aimed to investigate the potential role of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in mediating both the dopaminergic neuron loss and alpha-synuclein (alpha-SYN)…Machine Learning (ML) Prediction of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) Risk and Nigral Neuron Density
Objective: To investigate associations between nigral neuron density and ML-based PD risk prediction. Background: Early identification of persons at high risk for developing PD is…Digenic R1441G-LRRK2 and Parkin mutations in Parkinson’s Disease: first clinicopathological case report.
Objective: To report a clinicopathological case of digenic PD with R1441G- LRRK2 and PRKN mutations. Background: Digenic inheritance of R1441G-LRRK2 and PRKN mutation is extremely…Compartment-specific blockade of dopamine uptake in nigrostriatal pathway reveals role for nigral dopamine function in movement frequency in open-field
Objective: Inhibition of tyrosine hydroxylase activity in the substantia nigra (SN) produces a significant reduction in locomotor motor activity commensurate with decreased dopamine (DA) content…Automatic Detection of Nigrosome Degeneration in Susceptibility-Weighted MRI for Computer-Aided Diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease Using Machine Learning
Objective: Automatize the detection of ‘swallow-tail’ appearance in substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons using MRI for more robust tests on Parkinson’s disease (PD) diagnosis. Background: Differential…Investigating Substantia Nigra Damage using Fully Automated Segmentation of Neuromelanin MRI in Early Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: Development of reliable imaging biomarkers of dopaminergic cell neurodegeneration is crucial to facilitate therapeutic drug trials in Parkinson's disease (PD). Neuromelanin-sensitive (NM) MRI techniques…Andrograholide protect microglial activation via inhibiting mitochondrial ROS generation and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in in-vitro and in-vivo model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a distressing neurodegenerative disorder effecting nearly 2-3% of the total population greater than 65 years old . Several mechanisms have…A single nigral injection of human ENGRAILED-1 induces long-lasting behavior benefit in an experimental primate model of Parkinson Disease
Objective: Evaluate the efficacy of a single nigral injection of human ENGRAILED-1 (hEN1) in a recognized chronic MPTP macaque model. Background: EN1 homeoprotein has been…
