Journal ArticleDOI

Integrative genome-wide analysis of dopaminergic neuron-specific PARIS expression in Drosophila dissects recognition of multiple PPAR-γ associated gene regulation.

TL;DR: In this paper, Parkin interacting substrate (PARIS) was identified as a co-substrate of parkin and PINK1 that leads to Parkinson's disease (PD) by disrupting mitochondrial biogenesis through peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) coactivator suppression.
Patent

Long-acting glp-1r agonist as a therapy of neurological and neurodegenerative conditions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present compositions and methods for treating neurodegenerative conditions using GLP-1r agonists, which have neuroprotective and disease modifying effects on the central nervous system.
Book ChapterDOI

Genetics of parkinson’s disease

TL;DR: The recent identification of several genes and gene loci linked to familial forms of Parkinson's disease (PD) has contributed significantly to our understanding of the genetic contribution in PD as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification by mRNA differential display of two up-regulated genes as candidate mediators of AIDS dementia.

TL;DR: Altered expression of known genes not previously associated with the pathogenesis of AIDS dementia may contribute to AIDS dementia through the enhancement of microglial activation and immunologic nitric oxide synthase activity by abnormal neurotrophic regulation and interference with membrane excitability through disturbance of local ion homeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacologic inhibition of MIF nuclease: A new treatment paradigm to treat cell death

TL;DR: This research presents a novel and scalable approach to regenerative medicine that combines cell reprograming, which has the potential to improve the quality of life of patients and also contributes to their prognosis.
