Neurodegeneration and microgliosis are independent of α-synuclein aggregation in a mouse model of "prion-like" α-synuclein speading
Objective: Our aim was to test if α-synclein aggregation drives neuronal demise and microglial activation in a murine model of induced-α-synucleinopathy. Background: Pathological α-synuclein aggregates…Role of macroautophagy in regulating microglia-mediated neuroinflammation and dopaminergic neuron injury
Objective: To investigate the potential role of macroautophagy in the regulation of microglia-mediated neuroinflammation and dopamine neuron injury. Background: Chronic neuroinflammation, a process mediated by…Piper longum L. alkaloids inhibit lipopolysaccharide-stimulated microglial activation and protect nigral dopaminergic neurons
Objective: The ethanol-extracted alkaloids from the dry seeds of Piper longum L. (PLL) (family Piperaceae) PLA contain numerous compounds. We evaluate the potential of PLA…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…
