Parkinson's disease (PD) stands as the sec most prevalent incapacitating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by deterioration of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has garnered attention as a potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory agent and enhancer of mitochondrial complex-I activity. This study aimed to examine and compare the effectiveness of liposomal and non-encapsulated CoQ10 in rotenone induced-PD mouse model over a 21-day treatment duration.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the association between motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) and iron accumulation within the deep gray matter of the brain by Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM).

Methods: Fifty-six PD patients and twenty-nine healthy controls were recruited in this study. According to the Hoehn and Yahr (H-Y) stage score, PD patients were divided into early stage (H-Y ≤ 2) and advanced stage (H-Y > 2) groups.

Both astroglia and microglia show region-specific distribution in CNS and often maladapt to age-associated alterations within their niche. Studies on autopsied substantia nigra (SN) of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and experimental models propose gliosis as a trigger for neuronal loss. Epidemiological studies propose an ethnic bias in PD prevalence, since Caucasians are more susceptible than non-whites.

Cortical beta oscillation in brain slices of hemi parkinsonian mice.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, leading to significant motor and non-motor symptoms. Beta oscillations in cortical areas are a pathognomonic sign. Here we ask whether these oscillations can be recorded in in vitro cortical tissue despite severing the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical loop.

Microglia-derived exosomal ciRS-7 mediates IL-17A effect of promoting neurodegeneration via miR-7 and SNCA targets in an experimental Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson' s disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN). Our research has demonstrated that the levels of interleukin (IL)-17A are elevated in the SN of rodent models of PD, and that IL-17A accelerates neurodegeneration in PD depending on microglial activation. Furthermore, existing studies indicate that exosomes released by activated microglia may play a significant role as mediators of neurodegeneration in PD.
