Enhancement of mRNA expression of tissue-type plasminogen activator by L-threo-3,4-dihydroxyphenylserine in association with ocular dominance plasticity.

abstract：:The conversion of α-synuclein from its natively unfolded and α-helical tetrameric forms to an amyloid conformation is central to the emergence of Parkinson's disease. Therefore, prevention of this conversion may offer an effective way of avoiding the onset of this disease or delaying its progress. At different concent...
