Testing of symmetric biphasic stimulation in Vim-DBS ET patients: a randomized-controlled pilot study.

Introduction: Symmetric biphasic pulses have been shown to increase the therapeutic window compared to standard cathodic pulses in ET Vim-DBS patients. Furthermore, three hours of stimulation with biphasic pulses caused less stimulation-induced ataxia compared to cathodic pulses. Therefore, an investigation of the longer-term safety of biphasic pulses is warranted.

Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy.

In 2008 we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, research on this topic has continued to accelerate, and many new scientists have entered the field. Our knowledge base and relevant new technologies have also been expanding.
