Non-motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease and putamen dopamine transporter uptake (DaTscan) uptake: a survey of 85 patients
Objective: We addressed association between 30 non-motor symptoms (NMS) (using the validated Parkinson’s disease (PD) NMS Scale (NMSS)), and DaTscan putamen uptake ratios as part…Citrus extract A protects dopaminergic neuron by modulating mitochondrial respiration and reactive oxygen species
Objective: This study aims to validate the protective effect of citrus extract A (CEA) against loss of dopamine neurons in PD by dual targeting of…The Putamen to Caudate Nucleus Ratio: A Simple Surrogate Marker for Dopaminergic Volume in Putamen
Objective: To investigate the simple parameter by which fully represent the level of nigral dopamine in putamen by means of routine 18F-FP-CIT positron emission tomography…Movement disorders are the common signs as the first neurological deficit in cases with spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2)
Objective: We studied neurological signs in cases with SCA2 for early diagnosis. Background: SCA2 is a classification of hereditary ataxia, however, patients with SCA2 have…Neuronal nicotinamide-N-methyltransferase (NNMT) in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Understanding the role of NNMT in initiation and progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: 10-15% of all PD cases are caused by genetic factors,…Diverse effects of alpha-synuclein fibrils on various neuron cell lines, using different buffers
Objective: To investigate the neurotoxic properties of alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) aggregation in different buffers including PBS, SBF and Tris on altered cell lines, SHSY5Y, SK-N-MC and…Generation and characterization of iPSC-derived nigral dopaminergic and pyramidal glutamatergic neurons from patients affected by multiple system atrophy
Objective: The aim of the present study is to generate dopaminergic and pyramidal neurons from iPSCs of MSA patients in order to establish an in…Deficiency of HGprt in Lesch-Nyhan disease is associated with abnormal dopaminergic neurodevelopment in vivo
Objective: To determine the in vivo effects of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGprt) deficiency on dopaminergic neurodevelopment in a genetic mouse model of Lesch-Nyhan disease (LND).…Multimodal imaging assessment of nigrostriatal pathway in Parkinson’s disease using 11C-PE2I PET and neuromelanin-sensitive MR
Objective: To evaluate the nigrostratal pathway with multimodal assessment using striatal 11C-PE2I PET and nigral Neuromelanin-sensitive MR in Parkinson's disease. Background: The main pathological features…Functional characterisation and the selective vulnerability of SNCA (A30P) patient-derived midbrain dopaminergic neurons to ER stress
Objective: To functional characterise and phenotype the genetic Parkinson's disease (PD) patient with an A30P point mutation in SNCA using midbrain dopaminergic neurons (mDANs) vs…
