A better understanding of the molecular and cellular determinants that influence the pathology of Parkinson's disease (PD) is essential for developing effective diagnostic, preventative and therapeutic strategies to treat this devastating disease. A number ...
In synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease, partially ubiquitylated alpha-synuclein species phosphorylated on serine 129 (P(S129)-alpha-synuclein) accumulate abnormally. Parkin, an ubiquitin-protein ligase that is dysfunctional in autosomal recess ...
The present invention relates to novel organometallic compds. for use as a medicine, in particular in photodynamic therapy against various diseases, such as cancer. The compds. comprise a central porphyrin or phthalocyanine backbone to which ligand linkers ...
Buruli ulcer is an emerging human disease caused by infection with a slow-growing pathogen, Mycobacterium ulcerans, that produces mycolactone, a cytotoxin with immunomodulatory properties. The disease is associated with wetlands in certain tropical countri ...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the 5(th) most prevalent disease worldwide leading to severe morbidity and mortality in developed countries. The disease is strongly associated with smoking, and can be characterized by progressive and irreve ...
Hyperphosphorylated tau makes up the filamentous intracellular inclusions of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease(1). In the disease process, neuronal tau inclusions first appear in the transentorhinal cortex from where they se ...
A room temperature polariton condensate realized in a microcavity with embedded GaN quantum wells emits linearly polarized light at threshold with the plane of polarization pinned to one of the crystallographic axes. With increasing pumping power, a depinn ...
Background: Missense mutations and multiplications of the alpha-synuclein gene cause autosomal dominant familial Parkinson's disease (PD). alpha-Synuclein protein is also a major component of Lewy bodies, the hallmark pathological inclusions of PD. Therefo ...
Accumulating evidence supports a role for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in depression. However, most of these studies have been performed in animal models that have a low face validity with regard to the human disease. Here, we examined the regu ...
This paper addresses the problem of correct recovery of multiple sparse correlated signals using distributed thresholding. We consider the scenario where multiple sensors capture the same event, but observe different signals that are correlated by local tr ...
