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…Increased anti-MAG autoantibodies titers in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To search for biomarkers of neurodegenerative process in Parkinson's disease (PD).There is emerging evidence that humoral response may be involved in the pathogenesis and…Toward a new biomarker on Parkinson’s disease: Study of alpha synuclein on upper enteric system by endoscopy
Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate the alpha synuclein deposition at the enteric nerve system on patient with Parkinson's disease and provide…Alpha-synuclein in gastric and colonic mucosa in Parkinson’s disease: Limited role as a biomarker
Objective: We aimed to investigate the utility of alpha-synuclein (α-SYN) immunoreactivity from gastric and colonic mucosal tissues obtained by routine endoscopy to detect Parkinson's disease…Longitudinal measurements of cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate whether cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of tau, phosphorylated tau, β-amyloid42, α-synuclein, neurofilament light and YKL-40 change over time and if changes correlate…
