Journal ArticleDOI

Taming the clot-buster tPA.

TL;DR: A new approach to treatment minimizes the negative effects of tPA, which increases the risk of hemorrhage and has other deleterious effects.
Book ChapterDOI

Protein Translation in Parkinson's Disease

TL;DR: This chapter summarizes translational defects found in familial PD mutants, and discusses molecular mechanisms involved in the pathology, and also possibilities of targeting the translational machinery for therapeutic intervention in PD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parkinson Disease: Translating Insights from Molecular Mechanisms to Neuroprotection.

TL;DR: Parkinson disease (PD) used to be considered a nongenetic condition, however, the identification of several autosomal dominant and recessive mutations linked to monogenic PD has changed this view as mentioned in this paper.
Book ChapterDOI

Nitric Oxide Neurotoxicity in Primary Neuronal Cultures

TL;DR: Nitric oxide donors can directly induce neurotoxicity in primary cell cultures, and superoxide dismutase is neuroprotective against both N-methyl-D-aspartate and nitric oxide neurotoxicity, implicating the formation of peroxynitrite from the reaction of superoxide anion and Nitric oxide in the genesis of neurotoxicity.
