Parkinson’s disease(PD)is the second most common neurodegenerative disease.The development of PD is closely linked to genetic and environmental factors,with GBA1 variants being the most common genetic risk.Mutations ...
We reviewed recent major clinical trials with investigational drugs for the treatment of subjects with neurodegenerative diseases caused by inheritance of gene mutations or associated with genetic risk factors.Specifi...
Glutamate is the most commonly engaged neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system,acting to mediate excitatory neurotransmission.However,high levels of glutamatergic input elicit excitotoxicity,contribut...
Parkinson's disease(PD)is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive motor disturbances and affects more than 1%of the worldwide population.Diagnosis of PD relies on clinical history and physical examin...
Current therapies for Parkinson's disease(PD)are palliative,of which the levodopa/carbidopa therapy remains the primary choice but is unable to modulate the progression of neurodegeneration.Due to the complication of ...

Parkinson's disease(PD)is characterized by motor deficits and a wide variety of non-motor symptoms.The age of onset,rate of disease progression and the precise profile of motor and non-motor symptoms display considera...
BACKGROUND The most common lysosomal storage disorder is Gaucher disease (GD). It is a deficiency of lysosomal glucocerebrosidase (GBA) due to biallelic mutations in the GBA gene, characterized by the deposition of gl...
Gaucher disease(GD),the commonest lysosomal storage disorder,results from the lack or functional deficiency of glucocerebrosidase(GCase) secondary to mutations in the GBA1 gene.There is an established association ...
