Treatment of lipopolysaccharide-induced parkinsonism
Objective: This single case report of levodopa-responsive parkinsonism, caused by an accidental systemic contamination with 10 microgram lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from Salmonella minnesota, describes the treatment…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…Targeting TLR4 for disease modification in multiple system atrophy: Experimental evidence
Objective: To assess the efficacy of toll-like receptor 4(TLR4) agonists to ameliorate the functional and neuropathological phenotype of a transgenic mouse model of multiple system…Lrrk2 alleles modify host response to microbial infections
Objective: The mechanisms by which allelic changes in LRRK2 modulate the susceptibility to Parkinson's disease, Crohn's disease and leprosy remain unknown. We hypothesized that leucine-rich…Progression of microglial activation and neuroinflammatory responses in a transgenic mouse model of multiple system atrophy
Objective: Our aim was to characterize the progression of microglial activation during disease progression in a transgenic mouse model of multiple system atrophy (MSA). Background:…Apocyanin ameliorates post-stroke movement disorder in rats: Possible role of neurochemical and inflammatory alterations
Objective: To study the neuroprotective efficacy of apocynin, a NADPH oxidase inhibitor in 1) alterations of post- stroke motor behaviour, 2) alterations of various neurotransmitter…Microglia P2Y6 receptor is related to Parkinson’s disease and involved in the neuroinflammatory process
Objective: To investigate whether the purinoceptor P2Y6 can be used as a biomarker in the diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) and the role…The inflammatory burden of tic onset in a paediatric cohort: A preliminary study
Objective: To evaluate the role of inflammatory triggering factors in the onset of tics and Tourette syndrome in a prospective cohort of paediatric population. Background:…Leukocyte perturbations suggest immune dysregulation in progressive supranuclear palsy
Objective: Compare the serum cytokine profiles and phenotypes of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in a patient with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) with his healthy…CSF inflammatory and cell death biomarkers in Huntington’s disease – An exploratory cross-sectional study
Objective: This exploratory work intended to study general inflammatory cytokines, microglial activation markers, and neuronal cell death markers in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of HD…
