1. Protective effect of luteolin on the transgenic Drosophila model of Parkinson’s disease
In the present study we have studied the effect of 25, 50, 75 and 100 µM of luteolin on the transgenic Drosophila expressing human alpha synuclein. The doses of luteolin were established in diet and the PD flies were allowed to feed on it for 24 days. After 24 days of exposure the flies were assayed for climbing assay, oxidative stress markers, caspase-3 &

2. Efeitos da alfa-sinucleína na modulação da atividade do fator de transcrição nuclear kB em células SH-SY5Y. / Activation of trasnscription fator kB induced by alpha-synuclein in SH-SY5Y cells.
Parkinsons Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease. The characteristics and symptoms are well defined; nevertheless its etiology remains unknown. The sporadic PD is characterized by the presence of Lewy Body (aggregate of proteins) inside the neurons. Alpha-synuclein is a soluble protein present in the pre synaptic terminal of neurons. Evidences suggest

3. Estudo dos grânulos de lipofucsina e das sinapses do córtex temporal durante o envelhecimento / Study of lipofuscin granules and synapses in the temporal cortex during aging.
Alterações morfológicas e funcionais ocorrem durante o envelhecimento, período da vida com maior incidência de doenças neurodegenerativas. No presente trabalho acompanhou-se a evolução dos grânulos de lipofucsina durante o envelhecimento para investigar alterações sinápticas, assim como proteínas associadas com doenças neurodegenerativas (alfa-

4. From genetics to pathology: tau and alpha-synuclein assemblies in neurodegenerative diseases.
The most common degenerative diseases of the human brain are characterized by the presence of abnormal filamentous inclusions in affected nerve cells and glial cells. These diseases can be grouped into two classes, based on the identity of the major proteinaceous components of the filamentous assemblies. The filaments are made of either the microtubule-assoc

6. Charge neutralization and collapse of the C-terminal tail of alpha-synuclein at low pH
Alpha-synuclein (αS) is the primary component of Lewy bodies, the pathological hallmark of Parkinson's Disease. Aggregation of αS is thought to proceed from a primarily disordered state with nascent secondary structure through intermediate conformations to oligomeric forms and finally to mature amyloid fibrils. Low pH conditions lead to conformational chan

7. Short protein segments can drive a non-fibrillizing protein into the amyloid state
Protein fibrils termed amyloid-like are associated with numerous degenerative diseases as well as some normal cellular functions. Specific short segments of amyloid-forming proteins have been shown to form fibrils themselves. However, it has not been shown in general that these segments are capable of driving a protein from its native structure into the amyl

8. Genetics of Parkinson Disease
Summary: Parkinson disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. Recent studies have consistently demonstrated that in some families, disease is attributable to a mutation in a single gene. To date, genetic analyses have detected linkage to six chromosomal regions and have identified three causative genes: PARK1 (alpha-synuclein), PARK2
