LRRK2 Mutation Alters Dopamine D2 Receptor Localization in Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells-Derived Astrocytes From Parkinson's Disease Patients: Implications for Neuronal Damage.

Abstract excerpt

Astrocytes, the most abundant glia subtype, exert a wide range of functions, many of which are essential for maintaining neuronal homeostasis. A variety of neurotransmitter receptors are expressed on astrocytes allowing them to sense extracellular signals and respond by releasing neuroactive mediators. Among them, a wide variety of G protein-coupled receptors have been detected, including those for dopamine (DA),...
