Recent evidence suggests that parkin can be activated in PINK1-independent manner to regulate synaptic function in human dopaminergic neurons. Neuronal activity triggers CaMKII-mediated activation of parkin and its recruitment to synaptic vesicles where parkin promotes binding of synaptojanin-1 to ...
The organoid model of the dopaminergic system could be used to improve cell therapies for Parkinson’s disease. In first clinical studies, researchers have injected precursors of dopaminergic neurons into the striatum, to try and make up for the lost natural innervation. However, these studies have...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a complex and progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by the severe loss of midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons, causing progressive loss of motor control and function. Parmar and colleagues showed in Cell Stem Cell (2016) that Biolaminin 111 can ...
Here, we show that autologous engraftment of A9 dopaminergic neuron-like cells induced from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) leads to long-term survival of the cells and restoration of motor function in hemiparkinsonian macaques. Differentiated MSCs expressed markers of A9 dopaminergic neurons and ...
Due to its importance, the midbrain dopaminergic system has been extensively studied and many genes have been identified to play a key role in the development and regulation of midbrain dopaminergic neurons. One of the genes that have essential function in midbrain dopaminergic neurons is the ...
Different studies have suggested that dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic neurons in the VTA may synthesize and release 2-AG; this function is involved in the regulatory role of eCB system in the VTA (Melis et al., 2004b; Pan et al., 2008; Riegel and Lupica, 2004). The presence of ...
