Project description:Background: Parkinson's disease (PD), a neurodegenerative disease characterised by bradykinesia, rest tremor and rigidit, affects approximately 6.1 million people worldwide. Although its aetiology was attributed to accumulation of misfolded alpha-synuclein species and subsequent loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, recently, systemic factors contributing to its initiation and progression have gained increasing recognition. Specifically, exosomes, a kind of extracellular vesicles in the size range of ∼30 to ∼200 nm, have been highlighted as crucial mediators in orchestrating the intricate intercellular communication in PD. Among its cargos, miRNAs, with its ability to promote target mRNA degradation and inihibit translation, have been identiifed as promising biomarkers and therpaeutic targets. Nonetheless, the effect of anti-parkinsonism medication on the serum exosome miRNA profiles of PD patients remain lagrely unexplored. Objective: To examine the effects of rasagiline, a potentially neuroprotective monoamine oxidase B inihibitor, on the serum exosome miRNA profile of PD patients.

Single cell analysis of emergent haematopoiesis in the human fetal bone marrow (10X)

Project description:Haematopoeisis emerges in the human fetal bone marrow (BM) at around 12 post conception weeks. This constitutes the second wave of definitive haematopoiesis following on from the first wave in fetal liver from around 6 post conception weeks. The BM emerges as the dominant site of haematopoiesis, responsible for lifelong blood and immune cell production. Yet, little is known about how the composition of the fetal BM, the microenvironment permissive to establishing haematopoiesis and the interplay with other sites of fetal haematopoiesis in fetal health or disease. Herein we utilise single cell RNA sequencing to describe fetal haematopoeisis throughout gestation and better understand the development of the human immune system.
