Combination of liquid crystal and deep learning reveals distinct signatures of Parkinson's disease-related wild-type α-synuclein and six pathogenic mutants.

Chemistry, an Asian journal
α-Synuclein is a central player in Parkinson's disease (PD) pathology. Various point mutations in α-synuclein have been identified to alter the protein-phospholipid binding behavior and cause PD. Therefore, exploration of α-synuclein-phospholipid int...

Investigating the relationship between the SNCA gene and cognitive abilities in idiopathic Parkinson's disease using machine learning.

Scientific reports
Cognitive impairments are prevalent in Parkinson's disease (PD), but the underlying mechanisms of their development are unknown. In this study, we aimed to predict global cognition (GC) in PD with machine learning (ML) using structural neuroimaging, ...

Classifications of Neurodegenerative Disorders Using a Multiplex Blood Biomarkers-Based Machine Learning Model.

International journal of molecular sciences
Easily accessible biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and related neurodegenerative disorders are urgently needed in an aging society to assist early-stage diagnoses. In this study, we aim...

A Comparative Study of the Diagnostic Potential of Plasma and Erythrocytic α-Synuclein in Parkinson's Disease.

Neuro-degenerative diseases
BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by intracellular α-synuclein (α-Syn) deposition. Alternation of the α-Syn expression level in plasma or erythrocytes may be used as a potential PD biomarker. However, n...

Spread of α-synuclein pathology through the brain connectome is modulated by selective vulnerability and predicted by network analysis.

Nature neuroscience
Studies of patients afflicted by neurodegenerative diseases suggest that misfolded proteins spread through the brain along anatomically connected networks, prompting progressive decline. Recently, mouse models have recapitulated the cell-to-cell tran...

Investigation of the effects of carbon-based nanomaterials on A53T alpha-synuclein aggregation using a whole-cell recombinant biosensor.

International journal of nanomedicine
The aggregation of alpha-synuclein (αS), natively unstructured presynaptic protein, is a crucial factor leading to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and other related disorders. Recent studies have shown prefibrillar and oligomeric interme...

Contribution of α-synuclein cytopathologies to distinct seeding of misfolded α-synuclein.

Brain pathology (Zurich, Switzerland)
Synucleinopathies are a group of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the deposition of misfolded α-synuclein (αSyn), predominantly in oligodendrocytes in multiple system atrophy (MSA) and in neurons in Lewy body diseases (LBD). The contributi...

How good is generative diffusion model for enhanced sampling of protein conformations across scales and in all-atom resolution?

The Journal of chemical physics
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are fundamental for probing the structural dynamics of biomolecules, yet their efficiency is limited by the high computational cost of exploring long-timescale events. Generative machine learning (ML) models, parti...
