Cell-to-Cell Transmission of α-Synuclein Aggregates [PDF]

, 2012
It is now recognized that the cell-to-cell transmission of misfolded proteins such as α-synuclein contributes to the neurodegenerative phenotype in neurological disorders such as idiopathic Parkinson's disease, Dementia with Lewy bodies, and Parkinson's disease dementia.

Health Literacy, Self‐Efficacy and Knowledge of Sickle Cell Disease Among Caregivers

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder in which abnormal haemoglobin leads to severe anaemia, painful crises and organ failure. Caregivers’ health literacy (HL) – their ability to assess, understand and apply information, and interact with healthcare professionals – is crucial for managing children with SCD, yet ...

Requirement of aggregation propensity of Alzheimer amyloid peptides for neuronal cell surface binding

BMC Neuroscience, 2007
Background Aggregation of the amyloid peptides, Aβ40 and Aβ42, is known to be involved in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here we investigate the relationship between peptide aggregation and cell surface binding of three forms of Aβ (Aβ40 ...

Leukemia and Exposure to Potential Benzene Sources in Children From the Mexico City Metropolitan Area, 2010–2021: A Geospatial Analysis

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer in Mexico, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most frequent subtype. Exposure to high concentrations of benzene has been associated with ALL incidence, particularly in urban areas. This study evaluated the relationship between distance to benzene emission sources and the number

Early Impact of Childhood Opportunity on Neurocognitive Outcomes in Sickle Cell Disease

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Neurocognitive impairment is a well‐recognized complication of sickle cell disease (SCD) that begins early in childhood and persists across development. While cerebrovascular injury contributes substantially to risk, neurocognitive deficits are also observed in children without overt or silent cerebral infarctions, suggesting ...

Grid partitioning image analysis of highly aggregative bacterium Acinetobacter sp. Tol 5

Frontiers in Microbiology
Bacterial cell aggregation plays a fundamental role in surface colonization, stress tolerance, and interspecies metabolite exchange. Aggregation is assessed by simple tube-settling assays and also image analysis; however, approaches for quantitatively ...

Enhancement of Chemotactic Cell Aggregation by Haptotactic Cell-To-Cell Interaction. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The crawling of biological cell is a complex phenomenon involving various biochemical and mechanical processes. Some of these processes are intrinsic to individual cells, while others pertain to cell-to-cell interactions and to their responses to ...

Ironic Medications: A Narrative‐Based Psycho‐Educational Intervention to Explore Patient–Provider Communication in Adolescents With Haematological Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Adolescents with haematological malignancies face significant emotional and relational challenges, often accompanied by difficulties in communicating their needs within the healthcare context. To address these issues, a narrative‐based psycho‐educational intervention based on the creation and prescription of Ironic Medications was ...

Dynamics of the Aggregation of Cells with Internal Oscillators

Mathematics
We investigate two closely related Lattice Gas Cellular Automata models of the interplay of aggregation of biological cells and synchronization of intracellular oscillations (“clocks”): clock-dependent aggregation, where the adhesive forces between cells

Incidence and Severity of Carboplatin‐Associated Hearing Loss in Children With Cancer Assessed by the SIOP Boston 2012 Ototoxicity Criteria

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Platinum‐based chemotherapy is known to cause severe and debilitating hearing loss, but unlike cisplatin, the true incidence of carboplatin‐induced hearing loss remains unclear. We evaluated functional hearing outcomes in children receiving carboplatin to determine the incidence and severity of ototoxicity. Procedure We identified a
