Clioquinol-induced ordered conformational behavior in alpha-synuclein: promising relevance for therapeutic approach to Parkinson's disease
Parkinson?¦s disease (PD) is a devastating and an intricate complex neurological disorder that results from the progressive degeneration of nerve cells in Substantia nigra that controls movement. The pathological hallmark of PD is the formation of insoluble protein aggregates known as lewey bodies. Alpha-synuclein is the major constituent of these fibrillar structures. Alpha-synuclein a 140 ami...

متن کاملMouse models of cognitive deficits due to alpha-synuclein pathology.
Synucleopathies are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by abnormal accumulation of alpha-synuclein, most often in neurons. Familial forms are due to mutations or multiplications of the gene encoding for alpha-synuclein but most synucleopathies occur sporadically. They include Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB), which are both linked to cognitive decline. In DLB,...
متن کاملTherapeutic Approaches to Target Cancer Stem Cells
The clinical relevance of cancer stem cells (CSC) remains a major challenge for current cancer therapies, but preliminary findings indicate that specific targeting may be possible. Recent studies have shown that these tumor subpopulations promote tumor angiogenesis through the increased production of VEGF, whereas the VEGF neutralizing antibody bevacizumab specifically inhibits CSC growth. More...
متن کاملStaging/typing of Lewy body related alpha-synuclein pathology
When 22 members of the BrainNet Europe (BNE) consortium assessed 31 cases with a-synuclein (aS) immunoreactive (IR) pathology applying the consensus protocol described by McKeith and colleagues in 2005, the inter-observer agreement was 80%, being lowest in the limbic category (73%). When applying the staging protocol described by Braak and colleagues in 2003, agreement was only 65%, and in some...
