Journal ArticleDOI

Cytokines increase endothelin ETB receptor contractile activity in rat cerebral artery.

TL;DR: The plasticity of ETB receptor expression in cerebral arteries and sensitivity for pro-inflammatory cytokines, suggest a role in inflammatory cerebral diseases such as stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI

Population-specific frequencies for LRRK2 susceptibility variants in the Genetic Epidemiology of Parkinson's Disease (GEO-PD) Consortium.

TL;DR: Leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 variation related to disease susceptibility displays many features that reflect the nature of complex, late‐onset sporadic disorders like Parkinson's disease.

PINK1 mutation heterozygosity and the risk of Parkinson's

TL;DR: In this paper, mutations in PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) gene have been identified in recessively inherited and sporadic early-onset parkinsonism (EOP).
Journal ArticleDOI

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy of cerebrospinal fluid in neurodegenerative disease: indication of glial energy impairment in Huntington chorea, but not Parkinson disease.

TL;DR: The reduction in lactate found in the present study may reflect neuronal loss and support the theory of mitochondrial dysfunction in the brain of patients with Huntington chorea, but also suggests that there may be an important astrocytic component in this disease.
