Multi-scale and Multi-level Feature Assessment Framework for Classification of Parkinson’s Disease State from Short-term Motor Tasks

Academic Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the second most common chronic neurodegenerative disease, primarily affecting individuals aged 65 and above. With the global population aging, the prevalence of Parkinson’s disease is projected to increase from 7 million in 2015 to 13 million by 2040. Currently, the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease ma...

Transmission of Peripheral Blood α-Synuclein Fibrils Exacerbates Synucleinopathy and Neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s Disease by Endothelial LAG3 Endocytosis

Transmission of Peripheral Blood α-Synuclein Fibrils Exacerbates Synucleinopathy and Neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s Disease via Endothelial LAG3 Endocytosis Academic Background Parkinson’s disease (PD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the abnormal formation and transmission of α-synuclein (α-syn). Recent studies have ...

Propagation of Pathologic α-Synuclein from Kidney to Brain May Contribute to Parkinson’s Disease

Pathological Link Between Kidney Disease and Parkinson’s Disease Academic Background Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the abnormal aggregation of α-synuclein (α-syn) in the brain, forming Lewy bodies (LBs) and Lewy neurites (LNs). In recent years, increasing evidence suggests that the pathological agg...

Electroacupuncture Ameliorated Locomotor Symptoms in MPTP-Induced Mice Model of Parkinson’s Disease by Regulating Autophagy via Nrf2 Signaling

Study on Electroacupuncture Improving Parkinson’s Disease Symptoms by Regulating Autophagy Academic Background Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide, primarily characterized by the gradual loss of dopamine (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra of the midbrain and the abnormal accumulation of α-synucle...

Amelioration of astrocyte-mediated neuroinflammation by EI-16004 confers neuroprotection in an MPTP-induced Parkinson’s disease model

Alleviating Effect of EI-16004 on Astrocyte-Mediated Neuroinflammation in MPTP-Induced Parkinson’s Disease Model Background Introduction Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder primarily affecting the elderly, characterized by tremors, bradykinesia, rigidity, and loss of postural reflexes, mainly due to the loss of dopaminergic neu...
