Sonographic investigation of Pisa syndrome in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We hypothesized that the trunk muscles might have an impact on Pisa syndrome, so we performed a sonographic investigation of the trunk muscles of…Influence of levodopa on functional brain connectivity in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate how functional connectivity estimated by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) is influenced by levodopa and associated with clinical symptoms in Parkinson's…Pre-formed fibrils injection worsen pathology caused by AAV-mediated over expression of α-synuclein
Objective: The overall goal is to produce a rat model of Parkinson's disease (PD), which reproduces progressive pathological changes, while displaying profound neuronal cell loss…Identification of Usp8 as a toxicity modifying deubiquitinase for α-synuclein
Objective: To study whether ubiquitination in Lewy bodies is directly relevant to α-synuclein turnover and Parkinson's pathogenesis. Background: In Parkinson's disease, misfolded α-synuclein accumulates, often…PINK1-dependent clearance of depolarized mitochondria is driven by the UPS and can occur independently of (macro)autophagy
Objective: To disect the role of macroautophagy in PINK1-/Parkin-dependent removal of depolarized mitochondria. Background: The ubiquitin ligase Parkin and mitochondrial kinase PINK1 function together in…Alpha-synuclein gene variants may predict neurostimulation outcome
Objective: We aim to predict both treatment efficacy and disease progression in PD patients with subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation therapy (STN-DBS) by genotyping of…Mitochondrial dysfunction in skin fibroblasts from single heterozygous ATP13A2 (PARK9) mutation carriers
Objective: To investigate the pathogenic effect of single heterozygous mutations in ATP13A2, we determined the function and morphological changes of mitochondria in skin fibroblasts derived…Defective ubiquitinated mitochondria accumulation in aged Parkinsonian LRRK2R1441G knockin mice
Objective: (1) To determine potential accumulation of defective ubiquitinated mitochondria in the brains of aged LRRK2R1441G knockin (KI) mice and their age-matched wildtype controls; and…The correlation between N30 SEP and motor function in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate frontal N30 in Parkinson's disease (PD), and to examine the correlation between amplitude of frontal N30 and the degree of motor deficits.…Vascular degeneration in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine the role vascular degeneration in human Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: We have previously reported endothelial degeneration in the PD. Current study examined…
