Micro-RNA in cerebrospinal fluid as a biomarker for early diagnosis, differential diagnosis and prognostic marker in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: This study aims to identify specific micro-RNA (miRNA) patterns in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and to compare them with…Protein levels of SV2A and VGLUT1 in brain tissue from patients with Parkinson’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies and Alzheimer’s disease
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate whether SV2A and/or VGLUT1 are suitable as markers for synaptic degeneration in neurodegenerative disorders and could…Vagus nerve stimulation as a novel treatment strategy for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To assess the therapeutic potential of chronic vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) to attenuate the behavioral and neuronal deficits observed in Parkinson's disease (PD) by…Non-motor symptoms profiles in UK white Caucasian and Asian as well as overseas Thai and East Indian patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To compare motor and non-motor symptoms (NMS) in white Caucasian (WC) and Asian patients with Parkinson's disease (PwP) living in the UK as well…Diffusion tensor imaging biomarkers of nigrostriatal neurodegeneration in early Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Identify magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers of nigrostriatal neurodegeneration in early-stage drug-naïve Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is an MRI technique…Glucocerebrosidase activity in a cohort of PD patients
Objective: To evaluate glucocerebrosidase (GCase) activity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of a cohort of 53 PD patients with and without GBA mutations and…Mild mitochondrial impairment promotes corticostriatal synaptic plasticity alterations in PINK1 heterozygous knockout mice
Objective: To investigate the effects of the exposure to low-dose rotenone of heterozygous PINK1 knockout (PINK1+/-) mice, compared to their wild-type littermates (PINK1+/+), on dopamine-dependent…Changes in serum amino acid levels with progression of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze changes in serum amino acid profile with progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: PD is a…Investigating the role of Parkin in mitigating oxidative stress
Objective: We are investigating the ability of Parkin protein to protect cells from oxidative stress (OS) and the mechanisms that underlie this function. We hypothesize…Clinical predictors of airway protective dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The goal of this study was to test the sensitivity and specificity of several airway protective and disease-specific factors for predicting swallowing safety in…
