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…Alterations in 14-3-3 protein phosphorylation as a biomarker for neurodegeneration
Objective: To examine whether 14-3-3 phosphorylation is altered in Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. Background: 14-3-3 proteins are a highly conserved family of proteins…A novel single molecule imaging approach to detect individual protein oligomers in CSF from patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD)
Objective: (1) To develop an ultra-sensitive method to visualize single amyloid oligomers and (2) to compare the oligomer load in CSF from patients with PD…Cognitive and depressive behavior changes in aged mice with heterozygous deletions of VMAT2 or of DAT
Objective: To evaluate cognitive and depressive behavior in aged mice with heterozygous deletions of vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT2) or of Dopamine transporter (DAT). Background: VMAT2…Detailed proteomic analysis of early PD brain highlights altered expression of mitochondrial proteins as an important event in sporadic PD
Objective: To uncover early pathogenic events occurring prior to neuronal loss and Lewy body formation in human PD brain. Background: In PD, pathological changes spread…
