Lewy bodies in grafted neurons in subjects with Parkinson's disease suggest host-to-graft disease propagation.

TL;DR: Two subjects with Parkinson's disease who had long-term survival of transplanted fetal mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons (11–16 years) developed α-synuclein–positive Lewy bodies in grafted neurons, providing the first evidence, to the authors' knowledge, that the disease can propagate from host to graft cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

α-Synuclein propagates from mouse brain to grafted dopaminergic neurons and seeds aggregation in cultured human cells

TL;DR: In vivo transfer of α-syn between host cells and grafted dopaminergic neurons in mice overexpressing human α- syn and results suggest that α- Syn propagation is a key element in the progression of Parkinson disease pathology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct evidence of Parkinson pathology spread from the gastrointestinal tract to the brain in rats

TL;DR: The first experimental evidence that different α-synuclein forms can propagate from the gut to the brain is provided, and that microtubule-associated transport is involved in the translocation of aggregated α- synuclein in neurons is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transplantation of human embryonic stem cell-derived cells to a rat model of Parkinson's disease: effect of in vitro differentiation on graft survival and teratoma formation.

TL;DR: Investigation of the effect of in vitro predifferentiation on in vivo survival and differentiation of hESCs implanted into the 6‐OHDA (6‐hydroxydopamine)‐lesion rat model of PD indicates that prolonged in vitro differentiation ofhESCs is essential for preventing formation of teratomas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Research in motion: the enigma of Parkinson's disease pathology spread

TL;DR: The paper discusses the possible underlying mechanisms and their implications for how pathology spreads in Parkinson's disease and demonstrates that grafted healthy neurons can gradually develop the same pathology as host neurons in the diseased brains.
