Animal models of Wilson disease [PDF]
Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism manifesting with hepatic, neurological and psychiatric symptoms. The limitations of the currently available therapy for WD (particularly in the management of neuropsychiatric ...

Animal models of Parkinson’s disease [PDF]
Animal models of Parkinson’s disease (PD) have been widely used in the past four decades to investigate the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of this neurodegenerative disorder. These models have been classically based on the systemic or local (intracerebral) administration of neutoxins that are able to replicate most of the pathological and phenotypic ...

Animal Models of Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, the consequent dopamine deficit in the striatum and the accumulation of aggregated α‐ synuclein (α ...

TARM1 is a LILR family member that drives cell signalling via interactions with FcRγ. Here the authors show that TARM1 binds collagens to activate dendritic cells and thereby is an effector of inflammatory arthritis, plus provide a soluble TARM-Fc fusion

Parathyroid Diseases and Animal Models [PDF]
CIRCULATING CALCIUM AND PHOSPHATE ARE TIGHTLY REGULATED BY THREE HORMONES: the active form of vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D), fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23, and parathyroid hormone (PTH). PTH acts to stimulate a rapid increment in serum calcium and has a crucial role in calcium homeostasis. Major target organs of PTH are kidney and bone.
