Microglia as modulators of exosomal alpha-synuclein transmission
Objective: It is highly desirable to make clear the underlying mechanism of exosomes-involved communication in the synucleinopathy pathogenesis. Background: Emerging evidence suggests that exogenous pathogenic…Nurr1 gene: A new research target for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The objective of our study is to determine if Nurr1 gene, a transcription factor essential for dopamine (DA) neuron development and survival, is a…Role of microglia in the transmission of α-syn-containing exosomes
Objective: we investigated the role of microglia in the transmission of α-syn-containing exosomes and offer a new insight into the mechanism of PD pathogenesis. Background:…Partial depletion of peripheral M1 macrophages ameliorates the neuroinflammation and dopaminergic neuronal death in the brain of a MPTP-induced mouse model of PD
Objective: Neuroinflammation in the PD brain involves the activation of microglia and the increasing levels of inflammatory cytokines. Several studies have shown that the peripheral…Neuroinflammation in the substantia nigra is triggered by synucleinopathy and precedes nigral degeneration
Objective: To determine the relationship between synucleinopathy, neuroinflammation and nigrostriatal degeneration using the rat α-syn PFF model. Background: No therapy exists to halt or slow…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…Glial cells and iron accumulation in the brain of the Zitter rat
Objective: To investigate relationship between glial cell and iron accumulation in the brain of the Zitter rat, which is one of neurodegenerative disease model. Background:…
