Progressive Atrophy and Neuron Death for One Year Following Brain Trauma in the Rat

TL;DR: The results suggest that a chronically progressive degenerative process may be initiated by brain trauma and there is a temporally broad window within which to introduce novel therapeutic strategies designed to ameliorate the short and long-term consequences of brain trauma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Axon pathology in Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementia hippocampus contains alpha-, beta-, and gamma-synuclein.

TL;DR: This work shows that in PD and DLB, but not normal brains, antibodies to alphaS and betaS reveal novel presynaptic axon terminal pathology in the hippocampus, hilar, and CA2/3 regions, whereas antibodies to gammaS detect previously unrecognized axonal spheroid-like lesions in the hippocampal dentate molecular layer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dopamine neurons implanted into people with Parkinson’s disease survive without pathology for 14 years

TL;DR: Postmortem analysis of five subjects with Parkinson's disease 9–14 years after transplantation of fetal midbrain cell suspensions revealed surviving grafts that included dopamine and serotonin neurons without pathology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular milieu imparts distinct pathological α-synuclein strains in α-synucleinopathies

TL;DR: It is found that oligodendrocytes but not neurons transform misfolded α-Syn into a GCI-like strain, highlighting the fact that distinct α- synuclein strains are generated by different intracellular milieus, andGCI-α-Syn maintains its high seeding activity when propagated in neurons.
