Multiple System Atrophy – perspectives in diagnosis?
Objective: The aim of this study was to study the role of perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in the examination of multiple system…Premature State of Oligodendrocytes Potentially Provides Critical Period for Extracellular Pathological α-Synuclein to Invade Oligodendrocyte Lineage Cells
Objective: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is pathologically characterized by accumulation of misfolded α-synuclein (α-syn) in oligodendrocytes (OLGs), which is known as glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs).…Multiple system atrophy with predominant striato-nigral degeneration (MSA-P) and TDP-43 pathology: an unusual pathologic variant of MSA
Objective: To report a patient with MSA with concomitant occurrence of TDP-43-labeled and a-synuclein labeled inclusions in oligodendrocytes. Background: The pathologic hallmark in multiple system atrophy…Alpha-synuclein seeding activity in blood samples from synucleinopathy patients
Objective: Utilize a cell-based assay to determine whether a-syn seeding activity can be amplified and detected from blood components from patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD)…Widespread distribution and abundant accumulation of alpha-synuclein oligomers in multiple system atrophy brain
Objective: To examine the distribution of alpha-synuclein (αSyn) oligomers as an early pathological change in multiple system atrophy (MSA) brains. Background: Although severe neuronal loss…Effects of mannitol treatment in a mice model of multiple system atrophy (MSA)
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of mannitol treatment in a mice model of MSA. Background: Alpha-synuclein aggregation represents the…Expanding the NINDS Parkinson’s Disease Biomarkers Program – Utilizing a Major Biomarker Resource to Address Atypical Parkinsonisms and Related Conditions
Objective: Expansion of a carefully curated resource for clinical and biosample data to address a critical need for biomarker discovery in Atypical Parkinsonisms and related…Immunological causes of atypical parkinsonism
Objective: To study the clinical and biochemical features of atypical parkinsonism. Evaluate results of the immune-mediated treatment Background: Atypical parkinsonism is a heterogeneous group of…Cerebrospinal fluid levels of cytokines in multiple system atrophy: A cross-sectional study of the atalan msa registry (CMSAR)
Objective: To compare the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of 38 cytokines in multiple system atrophy (MSA) patients vs. control and Parkinson’s disease (PD) subjects. Background:…Patterns of dopamine transporter imaging in subtypes of Multiple System Atrophy
Objective: To investigate the differences in the pattern of striatal (caudate and putamen) dopamine transporter(DAT) loss in a multiple system atrophy (MSA) cohort, based on…
