  1. 1. Transcriptional dysregulation in L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia

    Författare :Malin Andersson; Neurobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical genetics; neurofysiologi; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; CREB; jun; fos; immediate early genes; prodynorphin; striatal plasticity; Parkinson s disease; dyskinesia; Klinisk genetik;

    Sammanfattning : This study explores the role of transcriptional regulation important in the development of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in a rat model of Parkinson’s disease. In patients with Parkinson’s disease, dyskinesia is one of the most difficult complications of the DA-replacement therapy by L-DOPA. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Novel strategies for enzyme replacement with gene therapy in models of Parkinson’s disease

    Författare :Erik Cederfjäll; Brain Repair and Imaging in Neural Systems (BRAINS); []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; AAV vectors; dopamine; enzyme replacement; gene regulation; GTP cyclohydrolase 1; L-DOPA; tyrosine hydroxylase; Parkinson’s disease;

    Sammanfattning : Parkinson’s disease is a brain disorder characterized by loss of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain, resulting in the characteristic motor symptoms: resting tremor, rigidity, akinesia and postural instability. Symptomatic treatment is based on reconstituting the loss of dopamine in the brain, primarily by oral administration of its precursor L-DOPA. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Astrocytes as Cellular Vehicles in Ex Vivo Gene Therapy Studies to the Rat Brain

    Författare :Cecilia Ericson; CNS Genterapi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Lentivirus; Transplantation; CNS; Astrocytes;

    Sammanfattning : Neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by a progressive cell-death in the brain, and loss of different functions in the patient. Today, there are no cures for any of the various diseases. Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder with a prevalence of 0. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Intrinsic and extrinsic factors controlling the differentiation of human midbrain progenitor cells

    Författare :Nicolaj Christophersen; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; neurotrophic factors; Parkinson s disease; microarray; dopaminergic; Embryonic stem cells; neural stem cells;

    Sammanfattning : Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor deficits. Levodopa treatment provides marked symptomatic relief. However, within 5-10 years after the start of Levodopa treatment, most PD patients display a gradual loss of drug efficacy. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Models and biomarkers of motor and neuropsychiatric complications in Parkinson’s disease

    Författare :Katrine Skovgård; Basala gangliernas patofysiologi; []

    Sammanfattning : Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by typicalmotor symptoms that are caused by severe dopamine depletion in the cortico-basalganglia network. Parkinsonian motor symptoms are improved by dopaminergicmedications, the most effective being the dopamine precursor L-DOPA. LÄS MER
