Gene expression analysis using the Parkinson’s disease map reveals early effects of alpha-synuclein on PD pathogenesis
Objective: The identification of early disease markers for Parkinson's disease (PD) is essential, since the disease is already in an advanced state when motor symptoms…Integrity of the superior longitudinal fascicle and its relationship with anticipatory postural adjustments in people with Parkinson’s disease and freezing of gait
Objective: To assess the integrity of the Superior Longitudinal Fascicle (SLF) and its relationship with the Anticipatory Postural Adjustments (APAs) of step initiation in people…Relationships of cognitive functions and psychiatric symptoms with motor phenotypes in patients with untreated early-stage Parkinson’s disease
Objective: It has been shown that the clinical types of Parkinson's disease (PD) based on motor symptoms include motor phenotypes of postural instability and gait…Staging and clinical correlates of cortical thinning in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: By using a novel disease staging model to investigate the progression and clinical associations of cortical thinning in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Background: The…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…
