Perturbations in organellar health can lead to an accumulation of unwanted and/or damaged organelles that are toxic to the cell and which can contribute to the onset of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s...
Oxidative stress damage plays a pivotal role in Parkinson’s disease (PD) pathogenesis. Previously, we developed a blood brain barrier-penetrating peptide-based “Trojan Horse” strategy to deliver...
Various pathologies result from disruptions to or stress of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis, such as Parkinson’s disease and most neurodegenerative illnesses, diabetes, pulmonary fibrosis, viral infections and...
By providing a three-dimensional in vitro culture system with key features of the substantia nigra region in the brain, 3D neuronal organoids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provide living neuronal...
Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is one of the most common neurosurgical cases, especially in elderly individuals. Secondary parkinsonism due to CSDH is a rare entity. The mechanism of parkinsonism symptoms in chronic subdural...
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a common feature of isolated rapid-eye-movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD). Here, we assessed cognitive functions and MCI in a prospective iRBD cohort and investigated their association...
Viral infection is a complicated dynamic process, in which viruses intrude into cells to duplicate themselves and trigger succeeding biological processes regulated by genes. It may lead to a serious disaster to human’s...
Aggregation of alpha-synuclein (α-syn) into Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites is a pathological hallmark in the Parkinson´s disease (PD) brain. The formation of α-syn oligomers is believed to be an early pathogenic event and the...
To evaluate the effects of body weight-supported overground gait training (BWSOGT) on motor abilities, such as gait and balance, in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD).Retrospective case-controlled observational study...
Methylmercury (MeHg) exposure and its harmful effects on the developing brain continue to be a global environmental health concern. Decline in mitochondrial function is central to the toxic effects of MeHg and pathogenesis of...
This study aimed to investigate the effect of miR-132-3p/GLRX on neuroinflammation and dopaminergic neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease (PD). In clinical experiments, the levels of miR-132-3p and glutaredoxin (GLRX)...
Piribedil (PBD) is an anti-Parkinson’s drug that gained interest recently due to its unique pharmacological profile. But its clinical use is severely limited by drug delivery issues like high dosing frequency (up to 5...
