Is levodopa-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson’s disease associated with increased blood brain barrier permeability and volumetric changes?
Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the angiogenetic hypothesis for Levodopa-induced-dyskinesia (LID) using advanced MRI methods in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).…Parkinson’s disease onset on non-dominant side predicts greater motor disability
Objective: Evaluate (1) the effect of dominant-side onset (DSO) vs non-dominant-side onset (NDSO) of Parkinson's disease (PD) on motor impairment in a large multicenter cohort…Exploring aging-VMAT2 gene-rotenone interactions in a cell model for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To develop a Parkinson's disease (PD) model based on aging, vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) gene susceptibility and chronic rotenone exposure in SK-N-SH cell,…Saliva swallowing frequency measured using 24-hours ambulatory impedance-pH monitoring in patients with Parkinson’s disease and drooling
Objective: To assess the feasibility of using 24-hours ambulatory impedance-pH monitoring (24-hAlpHM) to precisely measure saliva swallowing frequency (SSF) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).…Characteristics of the interaction between different toxic aggregated species of alpha-synuclein and cell membrane
Objective: To determine (1) the interaction rate of each toxic aggregated species of alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) with cell membrane compare to the monomeric form, (2) the…Differential vulnerability to α-synuclein pathology among neuronal subpopulations
Objective: To identify the cell death pathway(s) activated by α-synuclein (α-syn) pathology in an in vitro model of Lewy pathology and determine if neuronal subpopulations…Circadian dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease: Effects on impaired gait initiation and locomotion
Objective: To investigate the impact of circadian rhythm (CR) and time of the day on the magnitude of motor impairments during gait initiation and continuation…Colonic microbiome in Korean patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: In this study we investigated the relationship between colonic microbiome and clinical features of the patients with homogeneous ethnicity. Background: Colonic microbiome is an…Molecular landscape of Parkinson’s disease reveals a key role for lipids and lipoproteins
Objective: Integrate available genetic and expression data to generate a molecular landscape of Parkinson's disease (PD) in order to identify key disease mechanisms that may…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…
