Teased Fiber Preparation of Myelinated Nerve Fibers from Peripheral Nerves for Vital Dye Staining and Immunofluorescence Analysis
(Humana Press, 2018)Glial cells regulate a wide variety of neuronal functions during physiological and pathological conditions. Therefore, the study of glial cells and their association with axons is of paramount importance in order to ... -
The Enigmatic Role of C9ORF72 in Autophagy
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2017-08-03)Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of motor neurons resulting in a progressive and irreversible muscular paralysis. Advances in large-scale genetics and ... -
The inhibition of CTGF/CCN2 activity improves muscle and locomotor function in a murine ALS model
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2018)Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating adult-onset progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by upper and lower motoneuron degeneration. A total of 20% of familial ALS (fALS) cases are explained by ... -
The Mitochondrial Unfolded Protein Response: A Hinge Between Healthy and Pathological Aging
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-09)Aging is the time-dependent functional decline that increases the vulnerability to different forms of stress, constituting the major risk factor for the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Dysfunctional mitochondria ... -
The necroptosis machinery mediates axonal degeneration in a model of Parkinson disease
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-04)Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative condition, characterized by motor impairment due to the progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and depletion of dopamine ... -
The necroptosis pathway and its role in age-related neurodegenerative diseases: will it open up new therapeutic avenues in the next decade?
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2020-07)Introduction: Necroptosis is a programmed form of necrotic cell death. Growing evidence demonstrates that necroptosis contributes to cell demise in different pathological conditions including age-dependent neurodegenerative ... -
The Oculome Panel Test: Next-Generation Sequencing to Diagnose a Diverse Range of Genetic Developmental Eye Disorders
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2019)Purpose: To develop a comprehensive next-generation sequencing panel assay that screens genes known to cause developmental eye disorders and inherited eye disease and to evaluate its diagnostic yield in a pediatric cohort ... -
The Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Delta Regulates Developmental Neurogenesis
(CELL PRESS, 2020)PTPRD is a receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase that is genetically associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. Here, we asked whether Ptprd mutations cause aberrant neural development by perturbing neurogenesis in the ... -
Tumor Microbiome Diversity and Composition Influence Pancreatic Cancer Outcomes
(CELL PRESS, 2019)Most patients diagnosed with resected pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) survive less than 5 years, but a minor subset survives longer. Here, we dissect the role of the tumor microbiota and the immune system in influencing ... -
Unraveling the role of motoneuron autophagy in ALS
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2018)In recent years, the role of autophagy in the pathogenesis of most neurodegenerative diseases has transitioned into a limbo of protective or detrimental effects. Genetic evidence indicates that mutations in autophagy-regulatory ... -
Vitamin D Increases A beta 140 Plasma Levels and Protects Lymphocytes from Oxidative Death in Mild Cognitive Impairment Patients
(BENTHAM SCIENCE PUBL LTD, 2018)Background: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has an increased rate of progression to dementia. Alterations of some metabolic factors, such as deficiency of vitamin D, are a risk factor for cognitive deterioration. Vitamin ...
