Multicenter Analysis of Glucocerebrosidase Mutations in Parkinson's Disease

Ellen Sidransky, +75 more
TL;DR: Data collected demonstrate that there is a strong association between GBA mutations and Parkinson's disease, and those with a GBA mutation presented earlier with the disease, were more likely to have affected relatives, and were morelikely to have atypical clinical manifestations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuroinflammation, oxidative stress and the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: Current knowledge about the involvement of neuroinflammation in AD pathogenesis is discussed, focusing on phenotypic and functional responses of microglia, astrocytes and neurons in this process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial dysfunction and reactive oxygen species in excitotoxicity and apoptosis: Implications for the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases

TL;DR: The mitochondria have been also implicated as central executioners of cell death, and increased mitochondrial Ca2+ overload as a result of excitotoxicity has been associated with the generation of superoxide and may induce the release of proapoptotic mitochondrial proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adenosine A2A Receptor Blockade Prevents Synaptotoxicity and Memory Dysfunction Caused by β-Amyloid Peptides via p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Pathway

TL;DR: A2ARs play a crucial role in the development of Aβ-induced synaptotoxicity leading to memory dysfunction through a p38 MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase)-dependent pathway and provide a molecular basis for the benefits of caffeine consumption in AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain oxidative stress in a triple-transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer disease.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the role of oxidative stress in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease in a triple-transgenic mouse model and showed that the levels of antioxidants, namely, reduced glutathione and vitamin E, are decreased and the extent of lipid peroxidation is increased.
