Neurogenesis in Diseases of the Central Nervous System

Stem Cells and Development, 2006
Neurogenesis is altered in ageing, and diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) such as neurodegenerative disorders. We discuss the process of neurogenesis, its relevance for disorders of the CNS, the dynamic nature of neurogenesis, how and why it may be abnormal in ageing, and disease, and possibilities to ameliorate abnormal neurogenesis in ...

Transglutaminase and diseases of the central nervous system

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2005
Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and diseases of expanded polyglutamine are associated with insoluble protein aggregates and neuronal death. A role for transglutaminase in the stabilization of these aggregates has been proposed. Diseases of polyglutamine expansion have been the most thoroughly investigated and a large body of studies supports ...

Parasitic diseases of the central nervous system

Seminars in Diagnostic Pathology, 2010
Parasitic infections, though endemic to certain regions, have over time appeared in places far removed from their original sites of occurrence facilitated probably by the increase in world travel and the increasing migration of people from their native lands to other, often distant, countries.

Parasitic Diseases of the Central Nervous System

Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2011
This article reviews the characteristic imaging appearances of parasitic diseases of the central nervous system, including cysticercosis, toxoplasmosis, cystic echinococcosis, schistosomiasis, amebiasis, malariasis, sparganosis, paragonimiasis, and American and African trypanosomiases.

Viral Diseases of the Central Nervous System

Topics in Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 2005
Viral diseases of the central nervous system encompass a wide range of different processes, mainly inflammation affecting the brain (encephalitis), the meninges (meningitis), or a combined meningoencephalitis. The spinal cord can be affected as well (myelitis).

Granulomatous Diseases of the Central Nervous System

Topics in Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 2005
Infectious diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), particularly those accompanied by the formation of granulomas, are a constant diagnostic challenge in some specific regions of the world, above all in developing countries. The pattern of image seen on CT or MR scan is the result of the inter-relations between the individual characteristics of ...

Sjögren's syndrome. Association of cutaneous vasculitis with central nervous system disease.

Archives of Dermatology, 1987
We describe a group of patients with Sjögren's syndrome, who commonly present to dermatologists with cutaneous manifestations of vasculitis. Two specific clinically recognizable forms of cutaneous vasculitis predominate: palpable purpura of the lower ...

The Complement System in Central Nervous System Diseases

Immunologic Research, 2001
The activation of complement system is an important factor participating in inflammatory, neurodegenerative, and cerebrovascular diseases. Astrocytes and neurons are able to synthesize complement components. Myelin and oligodendrocyte (OLG) activate the classical pathway of complement in vitro in the absence of antibodies. Sublytic C5b-9 in the absence

Angiography-negative primary central nervous system vasculitis in children: a newly recognized inflammatory central nervous system disease.

Arthritis & Rheumatism, 2005
Inflammatory central nervous system (CNS) diseases in childhood comprise a wide spectrum of heterogeneous conditions. We studied 4 children with primary CNS vasculitis in whom results of magnetic resonance imaging studies were abnormal but results of ...

Bone marrow transplantation as effective treatment of central nervous system disease in globoid cell leukodystrophy, metachromatic leukodystrophy, adrenoleukodystrophy, mannosidosis, fucosidosis, aspartylglucosaminuria, Hurler, Maroteaux-Lamy, and Sly syndromes, and Gaucher disease type III.

Current Opinion in Neurology, 1999
Over 400 patients with lysosomal and peroxisomal storage diseases have received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from normal donors. Without treatment, all of these diseases have an inexorable fate leading to central nervous system deterioration ...
