New hope for devastating neurodegenerative disease
When a credible new idea emerges for repositioning a diabetes drug for devastating brain disorders, it is essential to give that idea attention. In this issue of Brain, the team led by Dr Meissner provide such a possibility (Bassil et al., 2017). More specifically, they provide a solid rationale for considering an FDA approved drug, exendin-4, as an entirely new approach for treating multiple s...
متن کاملRab11 in Disease Progression
Membrane/ protein trafficking in the secretory/ biosynthetic and endocytic pathways is mediated by vesicles. Vesicle trafficking in eukaryotes is regulated by a class of small monomeric GTPases the Rab protein family. Rab proteins represent the largest branch of the Ras superfamily GTPases, and have been concerned in a variety of intracellular vesicle trafficking and different intracellular sig...
متن کاملParkinson’s disease: no NOP, new hope
Nociceptin/orphanin FQ (henceforth N/OFQ) is the endogenous ligand of the so-called nociceptin opioid peptide (NOP) receptor, a.k.a. Opioid Receptor Like 1 (ORL1) receptor, a G-protein coupled receptor which couples to Gi/o and intracellular kinases, among which mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases [1]. In 2004, we provided the first evidence that N/OFQ might play a role in Parkinson's disea...
متن کاملA Comparative Study on Remote Tracking of Parkinsons Disease Progression Using Data Mining Methods
In recent years, applications of data mining methods are become more popular in many fields of medical diagnosis and evaluations. The data mining methods are appropriate tools for discovering and extracting of available knowledge in medical databases. In this study, we divided 11 data mining algorithms into five groups which are applied to a dataset of patient’s clinical variables data with Par...
متن کاملNew treatment strategies for Alzheimer's disease: is there a hope?
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive and irreversible neurodegenerative disease, and corresponds to the most common cause of dementia worldwide. Although not fully understood, the pathophysiology of AD is largely represented by the neurotoxic events triggered by the beta-amyloid cascade and by cytoskeletal abnormalities subsequent to the hyperphosphorylation of microtubule-associated Tau p...
