  • Community Fast Track, 2004
    Dysregulation of Ubiquitylation in Parkinson's Disease

    It is now widely accepted that the ability to maintain appropriate levels of proteins is of fundamental importance to the normal function of neurons and other cells. The levels of many proteins are...

  • Community Fast Track, 2004
    Cytoprotective role of ABAD in Parkinson disease

    Mitochondrial dysfunction and loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) are the features of Parkinson's disease (PD). We have identified a multifunctional member of the...

  • Community Fast Track, 2004
    Alpha-synuclein and Environmental Exposures: A Study in Humans

    The long-term goal of this research is to find the cause or causes of typical, late-onset sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD). To date the search for genetically determined risk factors that could...

  • Cell Replacement Therapy, 2004
    Novel protocols for the differentiation and functional integration of embryonic and neural stem cell-derived dopaminergic neurons in rodent models ofParkinson’s Disease

    The properties of stem cells have created the exciting possibility of producing high numbers of virtually any human cell type for cell replacement therapies. However, their implementation in Parkinson...

  • Cell Replacement Therapy, 2004
    Transplanation of Cell-Derived Dopaminergic Neurons Into the Brains of MPTP-treated Pre-clinical Models

    Previous work has identified a stromal cell-derived inducing activity (SDIA) in a stromal cell line (PA6 cells) that can induce mouse and primate ES cells to differentiate into mid/hindbrain neurons...

  • Cell Line, 2004
    Improving the Long-term Survival & Functionality of the Transplanted Human Dopaminergic Neurons Through Space Creation Strategy

    The ultimate goal of this study is to enhance the long-term viability and functionality of human embryonic stem (hES) cell-derived dopaminergic (DA) neurons for cell therapy in Parkinson's disease. To...
