Microglia differentiation from human pluripotent stem cells
By onMicroglia are crucial for brain development and maintaining homeostasis. They are involved in neurodegenerative diseases and can be generated from human stem cells using established protocols.
Stimulation of DA neurons and microglia
By onThis protocol details how to stimulate microglia with IFN-gamma, poly-IC and TNF-alpha.

Characterizing Parkinson’s Disease Clinical and Biomarker Interactions in REM Sleep Behavior Disorder
By ona-syn SAA positivity, DaT positivity, and hyposmia are highly associated with each other. MDS Prodromal PD Probability scores may be useful predictors of near-term progression, and thus as a stratification factor in clinical research study design
Inflamed Microglia like Macrophages in the Central Nervous System of Prodromal Parkinson′s Disease
By onWe investigated the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of prodromal PD performing single-cell RNAseq analysis of CSF and blood from 111 individuals.
Article: PINK1 deficiency rewires early immune responses in a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease triggered by intestinal infection
By onPINK1 KO mice show PD-like symptoms post intestinal infections, with myeloid cells dysregulation and T cell response early after infection. PINK1 plays a key role in gut immune functions linked to early PD mechanisms.

Soluble Immune Factor Profiles in Blood and CSF Associated with LRRK2 Mutations and Parkinson’s Disease
By onThis preprint explores immune factors in Parkinson's disease linked to LRRK2 mutations. Serum showed elevated SDF-1 alpha and TNF-RII levels in LRRK2 carriers, while CSF had reduced immune markers. PD patients displayed reduced CSF inflammation.
Severe GBA1 variants drive the GBA-PD clinical phenotype: implications for counselling and clinical trials
By onVariants in the GBA1 gene are common genetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease. A study compared clinical phenotypes in GBA-PD and idiopathic PD patients, finding that only severe GBA-PD cases show a more severe clinical profile.
Exploring the relationship between GBA1 host genotype and gut microbiome in the GBA1L444P/WT mouse model: Implications for Parkinson disease pathogenesis
By onHeterozygous *GBA1* variants are common in Parkinson's disease. This study found no significant impact of the *GBA1* L444P variant on gut microbiome composition in mice, suggesting other factors may contribute to disease penetrance.
Immunohistochemistry (Brain organoids)

LINE-1 retrotransposons regulate the exit of human pluripotency and early brain development (Preprint)
By onHominoid-specific L1 retrotransposons are expressed in human stem cells and organoids. Silencing L1s leads to changes in neural differentiation and organoid size, suggesting L1 involvement in central nervous system development.
(x6) GBA heterozygous and homozygous mutant fibroblast lines available to share
By onCell lines deposited at ATCC used in a publication (10.1093/hmg/ddac233) include UCL-CTRL001, UCL-CTRL002, UCL-CTRL003, UCL-YCTRL001, UCL-E001K, UCL-N001S, and UCL-N002S, each with specific RRIDs.
Integrated multi-cohort analysis of the Parkinson’s disease gut metagenome
By onThe authors perform metagenomic sequencing of multiple geographically-disparate cohorts and find that stereotypic changes in the functional metabolic potential of the gut microbiome are a consistent feature of PD.
A prebiotic diet modulates microglial states and motor deficits in α-synuclein overexpressing mice
By onWhat should Parkinson's Disease patients eat? This study shows that dietary fiber impacts gut microbes and immune cells in the brain of a mouse model of Parkinson's.
