Iron is an important element for brain oxygen transport, myelination, DNA synthesis and neurotransmission. However, excessive iron can generate reactive oxygen species and contribute neurotoxicity. Although brain iron deposition is...
Amyloidogenesis is the key pathological phenomenon commonly observed in various neurodegenerative disorders. alpha-Synuclein is the major constituent of Lewy bodies as a common pathological signature of Lewy body diseases (LBDs)...
During recent years, there has been remarkable progress with respect to the identification of molecular mechanisms and underlying pathology of neurodegenerative dementias. The latest evidence indicates that a common cause...
The purpose of this article was to provide a literature review of occupational neurological disorders and related research in Korea, focusing on chemical hazards. We reviewed occupational neurological disorders investigated...
Autophagy is a highly regulated cellular mechanism that results in the bulk degradation of long-lived proteins and organelles and which seems to be implicated in a variety of physiological and...
For cell replacement therapy of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease (PD), methods for efficiently generating midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons from embryonic stem (ES) cells have been investigated. Two aspects...
As we face an increase of the adult population suffering from dementia, a typical senile disorder, it is imperative to develop appropriate tools for early detection and differential diagnosis of...
Impaired function of the Ubiquitin (Ub)/proteasome pathway is one of the molecular mechanisms underlying aging process and neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Among many vital...
