Some human embryonic stem cell lines have shown genomic instabilities over long-term culture. To study the controversial origin of the SCNT-hES-1 line, which was derived from autologous somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), we compared the expression and methylation patterns of
Human α-synuclein is a small-sized, natively unfolded protein that in fibrillar form is the primary component of Lewy bodies, the pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease. Experimental evidence suggests that α-synuclein aggregation is the key event that triggers neurotoxicity although additional
Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDPs) are characterized by the lack of well-defined 3-D structure and show high conformational plasticity. For this reason, they are a strong challenge for the traditional characterization of structure, supramolecular assembly and biorecognition phenomena. We show here
Alpha-synucleinopathies (ASP) are neurodegenerative disorders, characterized by accumulation of misfolded α-synuclein, selective neuronal loss, and extensive gliosis. It is accepted that microgliosis and astrogliosis contribute to the disease progression in ASP. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are expressed on cells of the

Lewy body diseases such as Parkinson's disease involve intraneuronal deposition of the protein α-synuclein (AS) and depletion of nigrostriatal dopamine (DA). Interactions of AS with DA oxidation products may link these neurohistopathologic and neurochemical abnormalities via two potential pathways: spontaneous
