Synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease (PD), are neurodegenerative diseases characterized by accumulation of α-synuclein (SYN), a small neuronal protein with prion like properties that plays a central role in PD pathogenesis. SYN can misfold and generate toxic oligomers/aggregates, which
Parkinson's disease (PD) features nonmotor symptoms such as olfactory dysfunction referred to as hyposmia, an initial sign of disease progression. Metabolic dysfunction can contribute to neurodegenerative diseases, and various xenobiotics and endogenous compounds are also involved in the
alpha-Synuclein is a pathological component of PD (Parkinson's disease) by participating in Lewy body formation. JC-1 (5,5',6,6'-tetrachloro-1,1,3,3'-tetraethylbenzimidazolyl carbocyanine iodide) has been shown to interact with alpha-synuclein at the acidic C-terminal region with a K(d) of 2.6
Preclinical studies underlined the relevance of Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) transcription factor pathway in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD).The objective of this study was to explore Nrf2 pathway in vivo in PD, looking α-Synuclein overexpression (ASOX) drives the formation of toxic aggregates in neurons vulnerable in Parkinson's disease (PD), including dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra (SN) and cholinergic neurons of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV). Just as these populations differ in when
The accumulation of misfolded α-synuclein (aSyn) and neuron loss define several neurodegenerative disorders including Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). However, the precise relationship between pathology and neurotoxicity and why these processes disproportionately affect
