A molecular atlas of cell-type specific signatures in the parkinsonian striatum
By onProgressive dopamine loss in PD affects striatum cells differently. Transcriptomic analysis in mouse and human models reveals changes in neuronal and glial populations, highlighting resilient and vulnerable cell types for potential new treatments.
LRRK2 mediates haloperidol-induced changes in indirect pathway striatal projection neurons
By onPD LRRK2 influences the effects of haloperidol, a common antipsychotic, on striatal indirect pathway neurons. Inhibiting LRRK2 kinase activity reduces haloperidol’s motor side effects, suggesting a way to ease antipsychotic side effects.
