Targeting PDE7 by the small molecule S14: A potential disease-modifying Parkinson�s disease therapy ready to start clinical trials
Objective: The main goal of this work is the regulatory chemical, pharmaceutical and toxicological development of S14, a new therapeutic class for the potential treatment…The role and underlying mechanisms of BAG3 in regulating autophagy in PC12 cells
Objective: To detect the role of Bcl-2-associated athanogene 3 (BAG3) in regulating autophagy in PC12 cells and explore the underlying mechanisms of it. Background: Increasing…A computational model of iron transport between the blood circulation and the brain
Objective: To create a mechanistic computational model of iron transport between the circulation and brain, permitting in silico investigation of homeostatic regulation of iron at…Progress in the development of small molecules based on the coumarin core as multifunctional neuroprotective agents
Objective: Taking into account the background of our research group and the knowledge that MAO and ChE activity generates ROS that cause neuronal cell death,…Identification of unique metabolite signatures in post-mortem DBS human tissue using LC-HRMS
Objective: Metabolomics is applied to the study of metabolic as well as neurodegenerative diseases. We propose to utilize this technique to detect metabolic changes from…Serum level of vitamin D3 in patients with neurodegenerative diseases compared to healthy adults and its correlation with the years spent from the initial diagnosis
Objective: Vitamin D is an important factor responsible for many physiologic functions. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with increased risk of neurodegenerative disease. Background: The…Neuronal nicotinamide-N-methyltransferase (NNMT) in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Understanding the role of NNMT in initiation and progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: 10-15% of all PD cases are caused by genetic factors,…Creatine for patients with Parkinson’s disease: A meta-analysis
Objective: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to synthesize evidence from published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about the efficacy of creatine for…Dynamics in statin use, low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and Parkinson’s disease. A population-based cohort study using big-data
Objective: To evaluate the association between time-varying statin use and PD risk in a large-scale population-based study. Background: Statins have been shown to downregulate neuroinflammation,…STEADY-PD III. A phase 3 study of isradipine as a disease modifying agent in patients with early Parkinson’s disease. Baseline characteristics of the enrolled cohort
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of isradipine 10 mg daily on PD disability. Background: Isradipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist with excellent penetration of the…
