Parafoveal thinning of inner retina is associated with visual dysfunction in Lewy body diseases
(Wiley, 2019-05-28)
Background Retinal optical coherence tomography findings in Lewy body diseases and their implications for visual outcomes remain controversial. We investigated whether region-specific thickness analysis of retinal layers ...
Familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy type 1 caused by transthyretin mutation Val50Met (Val30Met): 4 cases in a non-endemic area
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
Introduction: Transthyretin-related familial amyloid polyneuropathy (TTR-FAP) typically arises as an autonomic neuropathy primarily affecting small fibres and it occurs in adult patients in their second or third decades ...
Association Between Medication Adherence and Oxidative Stress in Patients With First-Episode Mania
(Frontiers Media, 2019-03-26)
Poor adherence is a major problem in patients with manic episodes that impairs functionality and has unknown effects on oxidative stress. The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between adherence to ...
Translating big data to better treatment in bipolar disorder - a manifesto for coordinated action
(Elsevier, 2020-06-12)
[EN] Bipolar disorder (BD) is a major healthcare and socio-economic challenge. Despite its substan- tial burden on society, the research activity in BD is much smaller than its economic impact appears to demand. There is ...
Contribution of Neurons and Glial Cells to Complement-Mediated Synapse Removal during Development, Aging and in Alzheimer’s Disease
(Hindawi, 2018)
Synapse loss is an early manifestation of pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is currently the best correlate to cognitive decline. Microglial cells are involved in synapse pruning during development via the complement ...
In vivo PET Imaging of Gliogenesis After Cerebral Ischemia in Rats
(Frontiers Media, 2020-07-30)
In vivopositron emission tomography of neuroinflammation has mainly focused on the evaluation of glial cell activation using radiolabeled ligands. However, the non-invasive imaging of neuroinflammatory cell proliferation ...
CLR01 Protects Dopaminergic Neurons in Vitro and in Mouse Models of Parkinson's Disease
(Nature, 2020-09-28)
Parkinson's disease (PD) affects millions of patients worldwide and is characterized by alpha-synuclein aggregation in dopamine neurons. Molecular tweezers have shown high potential as anti-aggregation agents targeting ...
The MAPT H1 Haplotype Is a Risk Factor for Alzheimer’s Disease in APOE ε4 Non-carriers
(Frontiers Media, 2019-12-04)
An ancestral inversion of 900 kb on chromosome 17q21, which includes the microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) gene, defines two haplotype clades in Caucasians (H1 and H2). The H1 haplotype has been linked inconsistently ...
Contribution of the GABAergic System to Non-Motor Manifestations in Premotor and Early Stages of Parkinson’s Disease
(Frontiers Media, 2019-10-30)
Non-motor symptoms are common in Parkinson's disease (PD) and they represent a major source of disease burden. Several non-motor manifestations, such as rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder, olfactory loss, ...
Exome sequencing in multiple sclerosis families identifies 12 candidate genes and nominates biological pathways for the genesis of disease
(Public Library Science 15(6) : (2019) // Article ID e1008180, 2019-06-06)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system characterized by myelin loss and neuronal dysfunction. Although the majority of patients do not present familial aggregation, Mendelian forms ...
