The human olfactory epithelium represents a readily accessible source of adult neural cell types which can be propagated in vitro. We have used this feature to establish olfactory neurosphere-derived (hONS) cells lines from patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) and healthy controls. We i...
To determine the transcriptional effects of a novel plant-based compound, dehydrobrachylaenolide, on P. falciparum, parasite cultures were treated with the compound over time. Samples were taken for analysis 2, 6, and 12 hours post-invasion of human red blood cells. Control cultures were treated sim...
Genome-wide association scan was performed in 1,705 cases of parkinson's genotyped on the Illumina Human 660W SNP array, and 5,175 controls genotyped on the Illumina1.2M-Duo. Analysis was carried out on the overlaps set of SNPs.
Sexually mature female goldfish were administered 2 i.p. injections: 1) 0.1% DMSO in 0.6% saline or SKF 38393 (40 µg/g) dissolved in 0.1% DMSO in 0.6% saline, and; 2) 0.6% saline. A common reference design was used: 4 independent groups of telencephali from sexually mature female goldfish treated wi...
Sexually mature female goldfish were administered 2 i.p. injections: 1) 0.1% DMSO in 0.6% saline, and; 2) 0.6% saline OR quinpirole (2 ug/g) dissolved in 0.6% saline. A common reference design was used: 4 independent groups of telencephali from sexually mature female goldfish treated with 2 ug/g qui...
modENCODE_submission_541 This submission comes from a modENCODE project of Susan Celniker. For full list of modENCODE projects, see http://www.genome.gov/26524648 Project Goal: We will generate over 600 RNA samples in biological triplicate and use them to generate expression profile maps detailing t...
We characterized the gene expression differences in mDA neurons from all PD (Parkinson's disease) cases (6 independent samples) and controls (8 independent samples), identifying 1,028 differentially expressed genes making up the PD expression signature. Strikingly, MAOB gene was identified as signif...
