Mitochondria in Alzheimer’s disease and their potential role in Alzheimer’s proteostasis.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive brain disorder characterized by memory loss and the accumulation of two insoluble protein aggregates, tau neurofibrillary tangles and beta-amyloid plaques. Widespread mitochondrial...
Read MoreSubthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation modulates proprioceptive integration in Parkinson’s Disease during a postural task.
Defective proprioceptive integration may play a role in the pathophysiology of motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Dysfunction related to proprioceptively-evoked postural reactions in PD patients is still a...
Read MoreDo Lewy bodies contain alpha-synuclein fibrils? and Does it matter? A brief history and critical analysis of recent reports.
Several lines of evidence from neuropathological studies, human genetics, in vitro aggregation studies and cellular and animal models support the hypothesis that aSyn plays a central role in the formation of Lewy pathologies....
Read MoreDoes perceived control mediate the relationship between stigma and well-being for individuals with Parkinson’s disease?
Stigma is a known correlate of well-being for many neurological conditions. Perceived control is also an important variable in models of adaptation to living with a health condition. The purpose of this study was to investigate...
Read MoreRadiofrequency Ablation of Prelemniscal Radiations for the Treatment of Non-Parkinsonian Tremor.
Previous reports proposed prelemniscal radiations (Raprl) as a target to treat motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, and this was found particularly effective to control rest and postural tremor. However, tremor of other...
Read MoreFirst radiolabeling of a ganglioside with a positron emitting radionuclide – in vivo PET demonstrates low exposure of radiofluorinated GM1 in non-human primate brain.
Gangliosides are biologically important glycolipids widely distributed in vertebrate cells. An important member of the ganglioside family is the monosialylganglioside GM1, which has been suggested as a potential therapeutic for...
Read MoreNonlinear and mixed inhibitory effect of matrine on the cytotoxicity of oligomeric amyloid-β protein.
The formation of amyloid β-protein (1-42) (Aβ42) oligomers and Aβ42 oligomer cytotoxicity are two defining characteristics of the etiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In this study, we found that matrine (Mat) could...
Read MoreDesign, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel carboline-cinnamic acid hybrids as multifunctional agents for treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease with multiple pathological features. Multifunctional compounds able to simultaneously interact with several pathological components have been considered as a...
