  • LRRK2, 2011
    LRRK2 Role on Auto-Antibody Production by Human B Cells

    Objective/Rationale:
    LRRK2 expression has been demonstrated in the brain and several organs, including the thymus and spleen, which are major immune system organs for B and T lymphocyte maturation...

  • Rapid Response Innovation Awards, 2011
    Functional Characterization of ATP13A2, a P-type Transport ATPase Involved in Neurodegeneration

    Objective/Rationale:
    Mutations in the ATP13A2 gene lead to the Kufor-Rakeb syndrome, a severe early-onset form of Parkinson’s disease (PD) with dementia. The ATP13A2 protein is targeted to cellular...

  • Resource: Utilizing DATATOP Biospecimens, 2011
    Using Human Cerebrospinal Fluid Samples Collected in DATATOP Study for Biomarker Validation in Patients with Parkinson disease

    Objective/Rationale:
    One of the major challenges in biomarker discovery/validation for Parkinson's disease (PD) is to define their utility in PD progression. This task is best tackled with the...

  • Rapid Response Innovation Awards, 2011
    Unlimited Discovery of Non-Coding, Regulatory RNAs and Aberrant Splicing in Parkinson's

    Objective/Rationale:
    The recent discovery of a hidden universe of regulatory, non-coding transcripts and previously unknown variants of protein-coding transcripts is challenging conventional thinking...

  • Biomarkers, 2011
    Development of an MRI-based Imaging Biomarker for the Detection of Alpha-Synuclein in Parkinson's disease

    Objective/Rationale:
    Parkinson’s disease is associated with accumulation of the protein α-synuclein in the brain, however, it is not currently possible to detect α-synuclein in the brain of Parkinson...

  • Target Validation, 2011
    Preferential Targeting of Subpopulations of 5-HT1A Receptors

    Objective/Rationale:
    Although Parkinson's disease (PD) is primarily caused by dopamine dysfunction, function of serotonin (another neurotransmitter) is also affected. This suggests that serotonergic...
