Single-cell sequencing of human midbrain reveals glial activation and a Parkinson-specific neuronal state Open
Idiopathic Parkinson’s disease is characterized by a progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons, but the exact disease aetiology remains largely unknown. To date, Parkinson’s disease research has mainly focused on nigral dopaminergic neurons…

iPSC-Derived Microglia as a Model to Study Inflammation in Idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease Open
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease with unknown cause in the majority of patients, who are therefore considered “idiopathic” (IPD). PD predominantly affects dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (S…

Mitochondrial Mechanisms of LRRK2 G2019S Penetrance Open
Several mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase-2 (LRRK2) have been associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). The most common substitution, G2019S, interferes with LRRK2 kinase activity, which is regulated by autophosphorylation. Yet, the …

Mitochondrial damage-associated inflammation highlights biomarkers in PRKN/PINK1 parkinsonism Open
There is increasing evidence for a role of inflammation in Parkinson’s disease. Recent research in murine models suggests that parkin and PINK1 deficiency leads to impaired mitophagy, which causes the release of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), …
