In vivo increased striatal iron deposition in Parkinson’s Disease Dementia and Dementia with Lewy Body
Objective: To evaluate iron deposition with susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) MRI in the basal ganglia of patients affected by Parkinson’s Disease Dementia (PDD) and Dementia…PBT434 prevents the accumulation of glial cell inclusions and insoluble alpha-synuclein in a mouse model of Multiple System Atrophy
Objective: To evaluate PBT434 in a transgenic mouse model of multiple system atrophy (MSA) Background: PBT434 is a novel quinazolinone inhibitor of iron-mediated protein accumulation…Seasonal Fluctuation in a Chinese cohort of patients with idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome
Objective: To evaluate incidence and characteristics of seasonal fluctuation in a Chinese cohort of patients with idiopathic RLS in order to differentiate possible subtypes and…Plasma transferrin level correlates with the tremor-dominant phenotype of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To examine plasma iron metabolism related indicators in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and investigate the mechanism underlying the tremor-dominant phenotype of PD. Background:…Longitudinal development of nigral iron load in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: We for the first time investigated longitudinal changes of nigral iron load in Parkinson’s disease (PD) measured by Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM), a highly…Dystonia due to bilateral caudate hemorrhage associated with a COL4A1 mutation
Objective: Pathogenic mutations of COL4A1 are associated with young-onset stroke and porencephaly. We present a case of a 32-year-old female patient with juvenile onset right hand…High-Pass Filtered Phase MR Imaging to Detect Longitudinal Motor Associations of Iron Accumulation in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To assess whether longitudinal changes in deep grey matter nuclei iron content are associated with declining motor function in Parkinson’s disease over a period…Elemental fingerprint as a cerebrospinal fluid biomarker for the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To employ a combination of elemental concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to identify a diagnostic biomarker profile differentiating patients with idiopathic Parkinson´s disease…Serum soluble transferrin receptor levels correlate with the Hoehn & Yahr stage of Parkinson disease progression
Objective: To test whether levels of soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) in the serum of Parkinson disease (PD) patients are correlated with the progression of the disease…Alpha-synucleinopathy and mitochondrial dysfunction in a cell based model of neurodegeneration: Implications in the pathogenesis of sporadic Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To elucidate the role of α-synuclein, parkin and mitochondria in a cell-based model of neurodegeneration relevant to Parkinson's disease pathogenesis. Background: The suggested mechanisms…
