Sentences with phrase «synuclein pathology»

Stereotaxic administration of 5μg of murine pre-formed fibrils (Proteos Inc.) is sufficient to induce a progressive α synuclein pathology, reduced dopamine levels and motor deficits in murine models (Martinez, T. et al., SFN 2014).

Experimental studies and a growing body of evidence has emerged demonstrating that synthetic α synuclein fibrils (both human and murine) are capable of «seeding» and propagating α synuclein pathology not only in α synuclein transgenic mouse models but importantly in non-transgenic (WT) neuronal cultures and mice (Luk, K.C. et al., 2012a; Luk, K.C. et al., 2012b; Volpicelli - Daley, L.A. et al., 2014).

It is likely, however, that these mechanisms could explain why certain neuronal populations and brain regions are particularly susceptible to alpha - synuclein pathology.

While all PD patients display α - synuclein pathology, they do not all express the mutated form of the protein,» says Dr. Rothman.

Not exact matches

«One possible explanation is that UPDRS reflects primarily deficits arising from nigrostriatal degeneration, whereas CSF α - synuclein levels are influenced by the whole brain and may serve as a proxy for total brain pathology,» says Dr. Zhang.

Over-phosphorylation of serine 129 is implicated in α - synuclein aggregation and pathology.
