Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of calcium- and nitric oxide-regulated genes by differential analysis of library expression (DAzLE).

TL;DR: The expression profile of late response genes in a model of activity-dependent neuronal survival and neurite outgrowth is reported, which provides a nearly complete and relatively comprehensive differential screening profile that has the potential to be a powerful and useful tool in other fields of study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuronal NLRP3 is a parkin substrate that drives neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease

TL;DR: In this paper , Parkin activation was found to contribute to the assembly of an active NLRP3 inflammasome complex via mitochondrial-derived reactive oxygen species (mitoROS) generation through the accumulation of another parkin ubiquitination substrate, ZNF746/PARIS.

Method of using selective parp inhibitors to prevent or treat neurotoxicity

TL;DR: In this article, selective inhibitors of poly(ADPribose) polymerase were used to prevent neutral tissue damage resulting for ischemia and reperfusion injury or neurodegenerative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defects in Mitochondrial Biogenesis Drive Mitochondrial Alterations in PARKIN-Deficient Human Dopamine Neurons.

TL;DR: It is shown that although there are defects in mitophagy in human DA neurons lacking PARKIN, the mitochondrial deficits are primarily due to defects in mitochondrial biogenesis that are driven by the upregulation of PARIS and the subsequent downregulation of PGC-1α.
