Researchers from Kumamoto University, Japan have found that a component derived from turmeric essential oil, aromatic turmerone (ar-turmerone), and its derivatives act directly on dopaminergic nerves ...
The neurotransmitter dopamine influences the activity of a wide variety of brain areas. A deficiency of this substance can have drastic consequences: The death of dopamine-producing nerve cells in the ...
The death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra is the defining feature of Parkinson’s disease, but not all neurons in the region suffer this fate. Why do some wither while others survive ...
Deep in the human brain, a very specific kind of cell dies during Parkinson’s disease. For the first time, researchers have sorted large numbers of human brain cells in the substantia nigra into 10 ...
In a recent study published in Progress in Neurobiology, researchers discover that the substantia nigra of individuals with Parkinson’s disease had a higher concentration of pheomelanin, as well as ...
At the AD/PD meeting held last month in Vienna, scientists implicated T lymphocytes—specifically, the cytotoxic, CD8-positive variety—in Alzheimer’s disease. While the modus operandi of these cells in ...
Researchers from Kumamoto University, Japan have found that a component derived from turmeric essential oil, aromatic turmerone (ar-turmerone), and its derivatives act directly on dopaminergic nerves ...
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by the selective loss of midbrain dopamine (mDA) neurons in the substantia nigra. Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) offer a promising ...
