Overview

Moussa B.H. Youdim is affiliated with the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology in Israel and has made significant contributions primarily in the fields of Medicine and Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology. Their research spans several subfields including Neurology, Molecular Biology, Physiology, Pharmacology, and Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience.

The scientist's work focuses on a variety of topics related to neurodegenerative diseases and molecular mechanisms, including:

  • Parkinson's Disease Mechanisms and Treatments
  • Cholinesterase and Neurodegenerative Diseases
  • Alzheimer's Disease Research and Treatments
  • RNA Regulation and Disease
  • Nuclear Receptors and Signaling
  • Ginkgo biloba and Cashew Applications
  • Melanin and Skin Pigmentation

Moussa B.H. Youdim has published frequently in journals such as the Journal of Neural Transmission, where six publications are recorded, as well as in Cells, Ageing and Neurodegenerative Diseases, Free Radical Biology and Medicine, and Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology.

Recent notable papers include:

  • "Lewy bodies, iron, inflammation and neuromelanin: pathological aspects underlying Parkinson's disease" (2023), Journal of Neural Transmission
  • "The role of tyrosine hydroxylase as a key player in neuromelanin synthesis and the association of neuromelanin with Parkinson's disease" (2023), Journal of Neural Transmission
  • "The Neuroprotective Activities of the Novel Multi-Target Iron-Chelators in Models of Alzheimer's Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Aging" (2023), Cells
  • "The protective, rescue and therapeutic potential of multi-target iron-chelators for retinitis pigmentosa" (2021), Free Radical Biology and Medicine
  • "Site-activated multi target iron chelators with acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitory activities for Alzheimer's disease therapy" (2022), Journal of Neural Transmission

In their studies, Moussa B.H. Youdim has collaborated frequently with researchers including Toshiharu Nagatsu, Maximilian Wulf, Johannes M. Dijkstra, and Peter Riederer, reflecting a shared focus on neurological and molecular studies.

The research outputs demonstrate intertwined interests in iron-chelation therapy, neuromelanin biology, and neurodegenerative disease mechanisms, particularly related to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases.

In recognition of contributions to the neurosciences, Moussa B.H. Youdim received the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina award in 2010.
