The Role of Oxidative Stress in Neurodegenerative Diseases

TL;DR: The role of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases and in vivo measurement of an index of damage by oxidative stress are discussed and future directions will be outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mitochondrial deubiquitinase USP30 opposes parkin-mediated mitophagy

TL;DR: In this paper, Parkin ubiquitinates and tags damaged mitochondria for clearance, and USP30, a deubiquitinase localized to mitochondria, antagonizes mitophagy driven by the ubiquitin ligase parkin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of pyruvate metabolism and human disease.

TL;DR: Because most major diseases involve aberrant metabolism, understanding and exploiting pyruvate carbon flux may yield novel treatments that enhance human health.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deubiquitylating enzymes and drug discovery: emerging opportunities.

TL;DR: This Review discusses issues and recent advances in understanding of DUB enzymology and biology as well as technological improvements that have contributed to the current interest in DUBs as therapeutic targets in diseases ranging from oncology to neurodegeneration.

Staging of brain pathology related to sporadic Parkinson’s disease

TL;DR: This study traces the course of the pathology in incidental and symptomatic Parkinson cases proposing a staging procedure based upon the readily recognizable topographical extent of the lesions.

Mutation in the α-synuclein gene identified in families with Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: A mutation was identified in the α-synuclein gene, which codes for a presynaptic protein thought to be involved in neuronal plasticity, in the Italian kindred and in three unrelated families of Greek origin with autosomal dominant inheritance for the PD phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alpha-synuclein in Lewy bodies.

TL;DR: Strong staining of Lewy bodies from idiopathic Parkinson's disease with antibodies for α-synuclein, a presynaptic protein of unknown function which is mutated in some familial cases of the disease, indicates that the LewY bodies from these two diseases may have identical compositions.

Mutations in the parkin gene cause autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism

TL;DR: Mutations in the newly identified gene appear to be responsible for the pathogenesis of Autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism, and the protein product is named ‘Parkin’.
