AAV vectors accumulate in the pineal gland after injections into the brain or spinal cord

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2021
AAV vectors are being used extensively for gene-modifying therapies for neurological disorders. Here, we report the surprising discovery that injections of different AAVs into the brain, spinal cord, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lead to robust ...

The effects of anti-sense interleukin-5 gene transferred by recombinant adeno-associated virus in allergic rats [PDF]

, 2008
The accumulation and infiltration of eosinophils in airways is one of the most important characteristics of asthma, and is mediated partly by secretion of IL-5 from Th2 lymphocytes.

A Versatile, Portable Intravital Microscopy Platform for Studying Beta-cell Biology In Vivo [PDF]

, 2019
The pancreatic islet is a complex micro-organ containing numerous cell types, including endocrine, immune, and endothelial cells. The communication of these systems is lost upon isolation of the islets, and therefore the pathogenesis of diabetes can only

Single‐Cell RNA Sequencing of Retina Reveals Nna1 Upregulation in Myopic Diabetic Retinopathy as a Protective Factor Against Diabetic Damage

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates a schematic overview of the mechanistic pathways. The relationship between myopia and DR has long been of clinical interest. In diabetic mice, Nna1 expression is downregulated, whereas in diabetic mice with FDM, Nna1 expression is upregulated–particularly in Müller cells–accompanied by decreased vascular endothelial growth ...

Genetics of adeno-associated virus: isolation and preliminary characterization of adeno-associated virus type 2 mutants [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 1984
We constructed insertion and deletion mutants with mutations within the adeno-associated virus (AAV) sequences of the infectious recombinant plasmid pSM620. Studies of these mutants revealed at least three AAV phenotypes. Mutants with mutations between 11 and 42 map units were partially or completely defective for rescue and replication of the AAV ...

Hippocampal Chandelier Cells Modulate Seizure Susceptibility and Severity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The axon initial segment (AIS), crucial for action potential initiation, serves as a prime locus for controlling network activity. Chandelier Cells (ChCs), evolved in the mammals, intricately target AISs, acting as gatekeepers for neuronal firing. Diminishing ChC input makes animals more prone to developing seizures, whereas fortifying this connection ...
