Interests: neural correlates of cognitive dysfunctions in Parkinson’s disease using EEG and MRI techniques; structural and functional brain changes in PD related to disease progression and/or dementia conversion or disease modifying factors; biomarker studies in neurodegenerative disorders and at-risk populations; effects of chronic heavy metal exposure on the development of neurodegenerative disorders

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia. Understanding the complex processes involved in the development and progression of Parkinson's disease is crucial for advancing our knowledge and developing targeted therapeutic strategies.

This Special Issue, "Pathophysiological Mechanisms of Parkinson's Disease", will publish original research in basic science and translational research that can contribute to a better understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms underlying Parkinson’s disease. This Special Issue is multidisciplinary and aims to promote progress in the etiology, genetics, molecular correlates, pathogenesis, pharmacology, psychophysiology, cognitive dysfunctions, and neuroimaging correlates of Parkinson’s disease.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biomedicines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

The mitochondrial network (MN) is a dynamic structure undergoing constant remodeling in the cell. It is assumed that perturbations to the MN may be associated with various pathologies, including Parkinson’s disease (PD). Using automatic image analysis and super-resolution microscopy, we have assessed the MN parameters in fibroblasts from patients with established hereditary PD mutations (associated with PINK1, LRRK2, and α-synuclein, as well as PINK1 and Parkin proteins simultaneously) under normal conditions and after hydrogen peroxide-induced stress. Fibroblasts with the Pink1/Parkin mutation are most different in morphology to fibroblasts obtained from conditionally healthy donors: the MN is larger, and it contains longer mitochondria and accumulated individual mitochondria. In addition to MN, we evaluated other cellular parameters, such as cytosolic and mitochondrial ROS production and mitochondrial membrane potential. It has been shown that mitochondria of fibroblasts with mutations in genes encoding PINK1, α-synuclein, and Pink/Parkin tend towards hyperpolarization and cytosolic ROS overproduction, while mitochondrial ROS production was higher only in fibroblasts with PINK1 and α-synuclein mutations.
