α-Synuclein misfolding versus aggregation relevance to Parkinson’s disease: Critical assessment and modeling
(2015-06-01)
α-Synuclein, an abundant and conserved presynaptic brain protein, is implicated as a critical factor in
Parkinson’s disease (PD). The aggregation of α-synuclein isbelieved to be a critical event in the isease process. ...
An Inducible Alpha-Synuclein Expressing Neuronal Cell Line Model for Parkinson’s Disease
(2018-11-08)
Altered expression of α-synuclein is linked to Parkinson’s disease (PD). A major challenge to explore how the increased α-synuclein affect neurotoxicity is the lack of a suitable human neuronal cell model that mimics this ...
Chromatin-bound oxidized α-synuclein causes strand breaks in neuronal genomes in in vitro models of Parkinson's Disease
(2019-09-01)
Alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) overexpression and misfolding/aggregation in degenerating dopaminergic neurons have long been implicated in Parkinson’s disease (PD). The neurotoxicity of α-Syn is enhanced by iron (Fe) and other ...
Motor neuron disease-associated loss of nuclear TDP-43 is linked to DNA double-strand break repair defects
(2019-03-05)
Genome damage and their defective repair have been etiologically linked to degenerating neurons in many subtypes of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients; however, the specific mechanisms remain enigmatic. The ...
Chromatin-bound oxidized α-synuclein causes strand breaks in neuronal genomes in in vitro models of Parkinson’s disease
(2017-01-01)
Alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) overexpression and misfolding/aggregation in degenerating dopaminergic neurons have long been implicated in Parkinson’s disease (PD). The neurotoxicity of α-Syn is enhanced by iron (Fe) and other ...
Revisiting metal toxicity in neurodegenerative diseases and stroke: Therapeutic potential.
(2015-01-23)
Excessive accumulation of pro-oxidant metals, observed in affected brain regions, has consistently been implicated as a ontributor to the brain pathology including neurodegenerative diseases and acute injuries such as ...
