Neurotropic herpesviruses can establish lifelong infection in humans and contribute to severe diseases including encephalitis neurodegeneration. However, the mechanisms through which brain's immune system recognizes controls viral infections propagating across synaptically linked neuronal circuits have remained unclear. Using a well-established model of alphaherpesvirus that reaches brain exclusively via retrograde transsynaptic spread from periphery, vivo two-photon imaging combined with...
Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are the most common cause of familial Parkinson's disease (PD). These mutations elevate LRRK2 activity, making inhibitors an attractive therapeutic. activity has been consistently linked to specific cell signaling pathways, mostly related organelle trafficking and homeostasis, but its relationship PD pathogenesis more difficult define. LRRK2-PD patients present with loss dopaminergic neurons substantia nigra show variable development Lewy...
