Modeling Parkinson’s disease pathology by combined injection of fibrilar and monomeric α-synuclein in rat brain
Objective: Development of a fast and progressive Parkinson’s disease (PD) model in rat Background: α-Synuclein is a common link between sporadic and familial PD. Rodent…Gait disturbance and olfactory dysfunction is associated with central cholinergic dysfunction in early Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We hypothesis that olfactory dysfunction, could be an independent predictor of gait disturbance in early PD. Background: The pathophysiology of gait disturbance is not fully…Brain insulin resistance in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To test the hypothesis that brain insulin resistance (i.e. decreased insulin/insulin like growth factor (IGF)-1 signaling) occurs in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc)…Analysis of serum non-mercaptoalbumin in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: It is well known that the oxidative stress might be associated with the pathomechanisms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). In this study, we assessed serum…The effects of dual task on the finger tapping performance of Parkinson’s disease.
Objective: In the present study, we aim to analyze the effects of a dual task on repetitive finger tapping (FT) performance in patients with Parkinson’s…Potential of non-invasive brain stimulation to ameliorate freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease: A deep repetitive TMS randomized, double-blinded, cross-over pilot study
Objective: To investigate the impact of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) on freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson’s disease…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…Characterizing the Bcl-2 Associated Athanogene 5 Interactome
Objective: Characterizing the Bcl-2 Associated Athanogene 5 (BAG5) interactome will uncover the molecular pathways with which BAG5 associates and further elucidate its role in dopaminergic…Neuroprotective Potency of Tetrahydroisoquinoline a Novel Ayurveda Molecule in Experimental Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: Tetrahydroisoquinoline (TIQ) an identified alkaloid from ancient Indian ‘Ayurveda’ medicine for Parkinson’s disease (PD) was tested for neuroprotection in a cellular system and a…Alpha-synuclein enhances histone H3 lysine-9 dimethylation
Objective: To explore the nuclear function of alpha-synuclein (αS). Background: αS is a protein linked to Parkinson’s disease (PD) and related neurodegenerative disorders. It is…
