A role for nanor in early zebrafish development and validation of a neurotoxic zebrafish model of Parkinson’s disease
(NUI Galway, 2018-04-06)
Zebrafish are a versatile experimental model which have progressed the fields of many research areas through both genetic and pharmacological studies. In this thesis I studied a novel zygotic gene, nanor, in zebrafish and ...
The potential of injectable collagen hydrogels to enhance dopaminergic cell replacement therapies for Parkinson's disease
(NUI Galway, 2018-10-04)
Extensive pre-clinical and clinical assessment has shown that, when transplanted into the Parkinsonian brain, primary dopaminergic neurons can survive, integrate with the host system, produce dopamine and provide functional ...
An examination of the effects of viral priming on neurotoxin induced synapse dysfunction and degeneration
(NUI Galway, 2018-10-19)
Over 200 years since its first description, Parkinson’s disease (PD) remains the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. Treatments are insufficient and there is still no cure. The continued lack of treatment ...
