Sentences with phrase «in synucleinopathies»

«This study shows that researchers working on problems in rare diseases, such as blood pressure in synucleinopathies, can pool together data and ideas and develop a simple bedside test that can perhaps help spot these problems earlier,» says Dr. Kaufmann, the Felicia B.

Although several large studies have shown that α - synuclein levels are lower in the CSF of PD patients and those with related synucleinopathies compared to controls, its role in cognitive decline and dementia had been unexplored.

Yet if you look at people who develop the clinical syndrome of dementia, especially later in life, yes, they have amyloid in the brain but they also have other pathologic entities — vascular disease; synucleinopathies [insoluble fibrils of the normally soluble protein, alpha - synuclein]; a tauopathy [which is marked by disease - inducing, insoluble tangles of another protein, tau].

Lewy bodies (LB) and other intracellular α - synuclein (AS) aggregates accumulate in the aging nervous system, and a high burden of such aggregates are hallmark neuropathological signs of Parkinson's disease (PD), Lewy body dementia (LBD), multiple systems atrophy (MSA), and other synucleinopathies.

The clinical consortium is led by AFFiRiS itself, and in addition to the PD booster trial, it is now recruiting for a separate Phase I trial of the α - synuclein vaccine against MSA, a synucleinopathy differentiated from PD or LBD based on the cell populations affected, the regional concentration of AS neuropathology, and the spectrum of movement and other symptoms.

AFF 1: Preclinical Efficacy Data AFF 1 was then tested for preclinical efficacy in two models of human synucleinopathy: mThy1 - AS mice, and also PDGF - AS mice expressing WT human AS under the PDGF - β promoter — a model with closer neuropathological and metabolic resemblance to LBD than PD.
