Induction of Parkinsonian-like changes via targeted down-regulation of astrocytic glutamate transporter GLT-1 in the striatum
Objective: The aim was to explore the function and mechanism of astrocytic GLT-1 in PD-like changes. Background: Numerous researches suggest decreased expression of glutamate transporter-1…Vitamin D and Parkinson’s disease
Objective: to study the correlation between vitamin D levels (deficiency) and clinical presentations in patients with Parkinson’s disease Background: previous studies throughout the world have…Progressive supra nuclear palsy phenotype with idiopathic basal ganglia calcification
Objective: To present a rare case of progressive supra-nuclear gaze palsy (PSP) in a patient with idiopathic basal ganglia calcification in a patient with idiopathic…The Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein is lost prior to the appearance of Lewy pathology in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The degeneration of dopaminergic (DA) substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) neurons is a pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). Cell death in PD is…Quantitative study of T-type Ca2+ channels in the subthalamic nucleus neurons towards Parkinson’s disease
Objective: From the pathophysiological perspectives, Parkinson’s disease (PD) can be viewed as a prototypical disorder of “brain arrhythmias”. Therefore, the modulation of relevant ion channels…Identification of modifier genes related to G proteins pathways on the motor capacity of a Drosophila melanogaster model of Friedreich’s ataxia
Objective: To identify genetic modifiers related to G-protein coupled receptor signaling pathways, which might improve a frataxin-depleted phenotype in a Drosophila model of Friedreich's ataxia.…Differential enhancement of ERK, PKA and Ca2+ signaling in direct and indirect striatal neurons of Parkinsonian mice
Objective: To identify cell-specific and dynamical modifications of signaling pathways associated with PD and drug-induced modifications Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by severe locomotor…Clinical, genetic and radiological characterization of patients with movement disorders and basal ganglia calcification
Objective: The aim of this study is to present a case series of patients affected by movement disorders and Fahr’s disease or Primary Familial Brain…MYORG is associated with recessive primary familial brain calcification
Objective: To investigate the genetic basis of the recessive form of primary familial brain calcification (PFBG) and study pathways linking a novel gene with known…Plasma membrane Ca2+ Atpase 1 as a candidate to mediate the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons by inflammation in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To identify genes involved in the degeneration of the dopaminergic neurons (DN) of the substantia nigra (SN) by inflammation. Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is…
