Four main therapeutic keys for Parkinson’s disease: A mini review
Objective(s): Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by motor and cognitive dysfunctions. The progressive degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons that are present in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) has been the main focus of study and PD therapies since ages.Materials and Methods: In this manuscript, a systematic revision...
متن کاملChagas’ disease and Duffy antigen/receptor for chemokine (DARC): a mini-review
Duffy gene (FY) codifies the transmembrane glycoprotein Duffy (gp-Fy) of 35 to 43 kDa which is moderately immunogenic. This glycoprotein is polymorphic, and constitutes the antigens of the Duffy histo-blood system which were designated receptors for chemokines and denominated DARC (Duffy antigen/receptor for chemokine). This receptor has an important role in the regulation of chemokine levels i...
متن کاملMarek’s Disease: A Mini-Review
Marek’s disease is a lymphoproliferative disease principally of the domestic chicken known to be caused by herpesvirus i-e oncogenic (serotype 1) strains of Marek’s disease herpesvirus (MDV) that replicates in the lymphoid and epithelial tissues. Pathogenesis is complex, involving cytolytic and latent infection of lymphoid cells and oncogenic transformation of CD4+ T cells in susceptible chicke...
متن کاملEpidemiological Aspects of Chagas Disease - a Review
Chagas disease (ChD), also known as American trypanosomiasis, is caused by the trypanosomatid protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) that in its natural life-cycle is transmitted through triatomine vectors. Parasitological studies are useful to confirm acute cases, while the diagnosis of chronic T. cruzi infection relies on serological methods. There is no vaccine to prevent the infection, and ...
متن کاملPaleoparasitology of Chagas disease--a review.
One hundred years since the discovery of Chagas disease associated with Trypanosoma cruzi infection, growing attention has focused on understanding the evolution in parasite-human host interaction. This interest has featured studies and results from paleoparasitology, not only the description of lesions in mummified bodies, but also the recovery of genetic material from the parasite and the pos...
