Is the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease rooted in early neurodevelopmental defects? Congratulations to Isabel Rosety, Alise Žagare, Jens Schwamborn, and their team, for the important paper using patient-specific midbrain #organoids carrying a heterozygous GBA-N370S mutation in the GBA1gene to explore the pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease and suggest the potential for new therapeutic approaches. Visit our website to learn more and discover how the team used Axion’s #MaestroMEA platform to perform complex electrophysiological experiments on the 3D organoids with no labels, dyes, or complicated steps. 📝https://bit.ly/4bqlv63 #neuroscience #stemcells #parkinsonsresearch #biotech

#Organoids are a powerful new cell model, but there are often 2 major challenges: 1. Organoids can be difficult to produce consistently. 2. Organoids can be difficult to study in a non-destructive manner. In this 8-minute video I discuss standardizing organoid production and analysis for functional neural disease modeling.

Molecular Mechanism of Alpha-Synuclein in Parkinson's Disease Alpha-synuclein is central to the pathology of Parkinson's disease. Here’s a breakdown of its molecular mechanism:Misfolding: Normally, alpha-synuclein helps with neurotransmitter release. However, it can misfold and form toxic aggregates. Aggregation: Misfolded alpha-synuclein clumps together, forming Lewy bodies that disrupt cellular functions. Mitochondrial Dysfunction: These aggregates can impair mitochondrial function, leading to energy deficits and increased oxidative stress in neurons. Neuroinflammation: The presence of Lewy bodies triggers an inflammatory response, further damaging surrounding neurons. Neuronal Death: Over time, the cumulative effects lead to the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons, causing the hallmark symptoms of Parkinson's. Understanding this mechanism is crucial for developing targeted therapies. Stay aware and support Parkinson’s research! Parkinson's Ireland #ParkinsonsDisease #AlphaSynuclein #Neuroscience

In a study published in Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry (2024), researchers explored the metabolic changes in the brain following traumatic brain injury (TBI) using an innovative mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) technique, specifically AP-MALDI MSI. The study, conducted by Siciliano et al., focused on mapping the distribution of small metabolites in the brains of mice 21 days post-TBI. They identified significant changes in metabolites such as alanine, lysine, histidine, and inosine, particularly in the ipsilateral thalamus, the brain region most impacted by the injury. The findings highlight the potential of high-resolution MSI to reveal region-specific metabolic alterations that could influence the progression and outcomes of TBI. This research underscores the value of MSI in understanding the complex biochemical landscape of brain injuries, which may eventually guide therapeutic strategies. #TraumaticBrainInjury #MassSpectrometry #Neuroscience #Metabolomics #TBIResearch

On World Alzheimer’s day we celebrate the advances in biology and drug discovery that are delivering new treatments for Alzheimer’s and new hope for people with neurodegenerative disorders. At NRG we are energizing drug discovery in neurodegenerative diseases and advancing a pipeline of first-in-class brain-penetrant, oral small molecule drug candidates as potential disease modifying treatments based on breakthrough science in the field of mitochondrial biology. The goal for our inhibitors of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (#mPTP) is to restore mitochondrial function and thereby slow or halt the progression of #ALS (also known as motor neurone disease #MND), Parkinson’s and eventually other neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. #DrugDiscovery #neuroscience #NeurodegenerativeDisorders #Innovation #WorldAlzheimer’sDay
