Embryonic depletion of D-aspartate perturbs NMDA receptor-dependent long-term potentiation in the hippocampus of juvenile mice

Dalila Mango, Francesco Errico, Zoraide Motta, Sepideh Dashtiani, Anna Di Maio, Robert Nisticò, Maria Egle De Stefano, Loredano Pollegioni, Alessandro Usiello

This study shows that embryonic depletion of D-aspartate in mice leads to increased NMDA receptor-dependent long-term potentiation in juvenile hippocampus, which is reversible with exogenous D-aspartate.

Deep Brain Stimulation rescues the homeostasis disruption of circulating D- and L-amino acids level in men with Parkinson's Disease

Tommaso Nuzzo, Federica Carrillo, Marcello Serra, Claudia Gentile, Anna Di Maio, Alessandra Pizzella, Sara Pietracupa, Nicola Modugno, Francesco Errico, Teresa Esposito, Alessandro Usiello

This study shows that Deep Brain Stimulation (STN-DBS) restores circulating D- and L-amino acid levels in male Parkinson's patients, unlike L-DOPA therapy, and suggests these amino acids as potential early biomarkers.
