NUS1 polymorphisms modify the risk and age at onset of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: In this study, using whole-exome sequencing (WES) and direct Sanger sequencing analysis, we investigated the common and low-frequency variants of NUS1 in two case-control…Association of Interleukin (IL)-2 and IL2RA gene polymorphisms with Parkinson’s disease in Taiwan
Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate if interleukin 2 (IL-2) and interleukin 2 receptor alpha (IL2RA) genes are associated with Parkinson’s disease…Early predictors of Parkinson’s disease and prognosis in relatives
Objective: To study early clinical and biochemical markers of Parkinson's disease (PD) in relatives of Uzbek nationality. Background: Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative hereditary disease…Hereditary and geneological aspects of Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor in people of Uzbek nationality
Objective: To study the genealogic features of Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor in people of Uzbek nationality. Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET)…Detection of genetic modifiers in PRKN
Objective: In this study, we investigate the Hypothesis 1 using Next-generation sequencing (NGS). Background: In 1998, we reported homozygous mutations of PRKN as the causative…Differential effects of stem cell therapy in adult and middle-aged Parkinsonian mice
Objective: To perform an in-depth analysis of the effects of transplanting neural stems cells in Parkinsonian mice. Background: Parkinson´s disease (PD) is the second most…Dopaminergic Neuroregeneration in the Diencephalon of 6-OHDA-Lesioned Adult Zebrafish-Based Parkinson’s Disease Model
Objective: This study established a 6-OHDA-lesioned adult zebrafish-based PD model and investigated the neuroregenerative processes of diencephalic dopaminergic neurons (DpN). Background: Studies on endogenous neuroregeneration…Increased vesicular monoamine transporter alleviate MPTP-induced impairment of neurogenesis
Objective: In this study, we employed vesicular monoamine transporter 2–overexpressing mice (VMAT2-HI) to investigate the influence of increased vesicular storage of catacholamines on 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced…Gastrointestinal disorders in various forms of parkinsonism
Objective: To examine the types of gastrointestinal disorders in parkinsonism, depending on the form of the disease. Background: One of the non-motor autonomic disorders of…Dopaminergic stem cells reside in the rostral migratory stream
Objective: To analyze if the adult rostral migratory stream (RMS) harbors neural stem cells with the potential to create dopaminergic neurons for the olfactory bulb…
