Immunosuppressive tocilizumab prevents astrocyte induced neurotoxicity in hiPSC-LRRK2 Parkinson’s disease by targeting receptor interleukin-6
2022-08-25
Abstract excerpt
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is associated with premature death of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. Previous studies have shown that astrocytes of PD patients may contribute to neuronal degeneration by mechanisms involving both direct cell-to-cell contact and transfer of soluble molecules. Since it has been proposed that PD patients exhibit an overall pro-inflammatory state, and since astrocytes are key mediat...
