Early deficits in an in vitro striatal microcircuit model carrying the Parkinson’s GBA-N370S mutation
By onThe results highlight the unique utility of modeling striatal neurons in a modular and highly physiological circuit, which is essential to reveal mechanistic insights of the loss of electrical functional integrity in the striata of GBA1 PD patients.
Scalable, flexible carbon fiber electrode thread arrays for three-dimensional probing of neurochemical activity in deep brain structures of rodents
By onThe authors' CFET array has the potential to unlock a wide range of applications, from uncovering the role of neuromodulators in synaptic plasticity, to addressing safety barriers in clinical translation toward diagnostic and adaptive treatment in PD
HEK293 TMEM115-3xHA GolgiTAG (CVCL_C8A6)
By onCell line generated from HEK293 cells (Cat# CRL-1573, RRID:CVCL_0045) virally transfected with a construct expressing TMEM115-3xHA (GolgiTAG)
Role of autophagy pathway in Parkinson’s disease and related Genetic Neurological disorders
By onThe authors provide a comprehensive overview of the general importance of autophagy in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and related disorders of the central nervous system (CNS).
Scientific Perspectives: Structural Biology of LRRK2 and its Interaction with Microtubules
By onMutations in LRRK2 are linked to Parkinson's disease. LRRK2 regulates membrane trafficking and interacts with microtubules. Recent studies have revealed its cytosolic and microtubule-bound forms using cryo-EM and cryo-ET techniques.
Mouse Behavior – Open Field and T-Maze
By onThis protocol describes two behavioral tasks for mice. The first is the Open Field Test, which is used to asses motor behavior, and the second is the T-Maze, which is used to assess spatial learning.
Live Imaging of Primary Mouse Neuron Cultures
By onThis protocol describes live imaging of primary neuron cultures. Included are methods for preparing hippocampal or dopamine neuronal cultures from neonatal mouse brain tissue. The imaging described involves labeling of dopamine neurons with a fluorescent DAT ligand and using virally encoded pHlourin sensors to measure vesicular release of neurotransmitter as the neurons are electrically stimulated. This technique was used in Jain et al., 2023 to compare vesicular release in neurons between various transgenic knockout mouse lines.
Sample preparation for aCGH karyotyping
By onThis protocol describes the standard procedure preparing cell pellets from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) cultured on MEFs for outsourced aCGH karyotyping.
iPSC differentiation into Macrophages
By onThis protocol describes iPSC differentiation into macrophages.
Mechanisms Controlling Selective Elimination of Damaged Lysosomes
By onLysophagy, triggered by membrane rupture, involves galectins binding to lysosomal contents to promote autophagic recycling. Damaged lysosomes are ubiquitylated, leading to autophagosome formation for degradation in healthy lysosomes.
Vesicular dysfunction and pathways to neurodegeneration
By onIn this review, the pathways that have emerged as critical for neuronal survival in the human brain are discussed, illustrating the diversity of proteins and cellular events with three molecular case studies from different neurological diseases.
pBMN_HA-TBK1 (E696K)
By onPlasmid: Used for the expression of TBK1 carrying E696K mutation (SMC Internal No. 1998).
pBMN_HA-TBK1 (kinase dead – D135N)
By onPlasmid: Used for the expression of TBK1 carrying a kinase dead mutation D135N (SMC Internal No. 1997).
Single cell survival assay
By onThis protocol describes the experimental procedure used to measure single cell survival rates post nucleofection of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). General Notes: 1. Throughout these protocols, the term hPSC is used to collectively refer to both hiPSCs and hESCs. All described procedures have been tested and work equally well for hiPSCs and hESCs.
