This paper introduces a method to detect dopamine using genetically encoded fluorescent sensors in vitro and ex vivo, demonstrating its application for measuring dopamine release, uptake, and efflux.

The paper develops a sensitive Bio-ELISA to measure TH in immune cells and finds that TNFα increases TH expression in monocytes from Parkinson's patients.

The paper investigates how α-synuclein dysregulation affects D2 receptor activity in dopamine neurons, showing it contributes to neuronal vulnerability and identifies potential therapeutic targets.
