From iPS Cells to Rodents and Nonhuman Primates: Filling Gaps in Modeling Parkinson’s Disease

Authors Outeiro TF, Heutink P, Bezard E, Cenci AM Journal Movement Disorders Citation Mov Disord. 2020 Nov 16. Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is primarily known as a movement disorder because of typical clinical manifestations associated with the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. However, it is now widely

Pharmacological Modulators of Tau Aggregation and Spreading

Authors Dominguez-Meijide A, Vasili E, Outeiro TF Journal Brain Science Citation Brain Sci. 2020 Nov 13;10(11):E858. Abstract Tauopathies are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the deposition of aggregates composed of abnormal tau protein in the brain. Additionally, misfolded forms of tau can propagate from cell to cell and throughout the brain.

Variational Multiscale Nonparametric Regression: Algorithms and Implementation

Authors del Alamo M, Li H, Munk A, Werner F Journal Algorithms Citation Algorithms 2020, 13(11), 296. Abstract Many modern statistically efficient methods come with tremendous computational challenges, often leading to large-scale optimisation problems. In this work, we examine such computational issues for recently developed estimation methods in nonparametric regression
