A RAB7A Phosphoswitch Coordinates Rubicon Homology Protein Regulation of PINK1/Parkin-Dependent Mitophagy
By onPublished: Structural and functional data support a model in which the TBK1-dependent phosphorylation of RAB7A serves as a switch, promoting mitophagy by relieving Rubicon inhibition and favoring Pacer activation. View original preprint.
Adult-specific Reelin expression alters striatal neuronal organization: implications for neuropsychiatric disorders
By onReelin levels might modulate the numbers of striatal interneurons and the density of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic projections, suggesting that these changes may be involved in the protection of Reelin against neuropsychiatric disorders.
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.
EXPRESSION AND PURIFICATION OF HUMAN NEMO (GST-GFP-NEMO)
By onThis protocol describes how to express and purify human NEMO (IKK-γ) tagged N-terminally with GST and EGFP.
A data-driven single-cell and spatial transcriptomic map of the human prefrontal cortex
By onA data-driven molecular map of the DLPFC reveals distinct spatial domains and cell populations, offering insights into neuropsychiatric disorders. The study provides a roadmap for implementing spatial clustering approaches in the human brain.
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.

CRISPR tagging of the TMEM192 gene with 3xHA in H9 ES AAVS-NGN2 cells for Lyso-IP
By onProtocol for adding a 3X HA tag to TMEM192 gene in human cells using CAS9 and recombination template is described for H9 ES AAVS1-NGN2 cells.
Evaluation Of The Rims2 Locus As A Risk Locus For Parkinson’s Disease Dementia
By onLiu et al. found RIMS2 locus linked to dementia in Parkinson's disease. Our study with 2536 individuals found no association with RIMS2 or other loci. More research is needed to uncover biological factors influencing Parkinson's dementia.
Expansion and maintenance of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)
By onThis protocol describes the maintenance and expansion of iPSCs in the adherent culture via single-cell passaging.
CoxII degradation assay to assess mitophagy
By onThis protocol details the procedure to assess mitophagy by analyzing COXII degradation via Western blotting.
