"Role of the lysosomal dysfunction during aging, and implication for Parkinson’s Disease." (AGELYSPARK)

Start date: Dec 3, 2010, End date: Dec 2, 2013,

"Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disorder with no proven neuroprotective or neurorestorative therapy. The most consistent risk factor for developing PD is increasing age. PD is a disease where substantial cell loss in the substantia nigra pars compacta occurs alongside the formation of Lewy Bodies (LB). Although LB represent a pathological hallmark of PD, their ...

Priming for L-dopa-induced dyskinesia and neurotransmitter receptor trafficking dysregulation in parkinsonism (PrimLID)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

L-dopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) severely limits the usability of L-dopa in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients and a treatment is needed to improve their quality of life. The project aims at elucidating the “priming” phenomenon in PD, i.e. the unchangeable modification of brain response to dopamine (DA), that leads to the development of LID. We will investigate the role of neurotransmitter receptor ...
