Parkinson's disease is characterized by dopaminergic neuronal degeneration, but its pathogenic mechanism is still unknown. In the dopaminergic neurons, oxygen radicals such as hydrogen peroxide are released through dopamine oxidation. Many factors are involved in radical formation, but glutamate and

The neuropeptide pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is present in many regions of the adult and developing brain as are receptors for PACAP. PACAP stimulates different signalling cascades in neurons, involving cAMP, MAP kinase, and calcium. These characteristics suggest that
## Neurotransmitters have been shown to control CNS neurogenesis, and GABA-mediated signaling is thought to be involved in the regulation of nearly all key developmental stages. Generation of dopaminergic (DA) neurons from stem/precursor cells for cell therapy in Parkinson's disease has become a ma
## Abstract We have shown that prothrombin kringleβ2 (pKrβ2), a domain of human prothrombin distinct from thrombin could activate cultured rat brain microglia in vitro. However, little is known whether pKrβ2βinduced microglial activation could cause neurotoxicity on dopaminergic (DA) neurons in viv
