Mfn2 downregulation in excitotoxicity causes mitochondrial dysfunction and delayed neuronal death. [PDF]
Mitochondrial fusion and fission is a dynamic process critical for the maintenance of mitochondrial function and cell viability. During excitotoxicity neuronal mitochondria are fragmented, but the mechanism underlying this process is poorly understood ...

Neuroprotection by MKK7 inhibition in excitotoxicity [PDF]
Excitotoxicity following cerebral ischemia elicits a molecular cascade, which leads neurons to death. One key molecule of this pathway is c-Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK), a MAP kinase, which plays both physiological and pathological roles in neurons. We have previously shown that JNK blockade by specific cell permeable peptide inhibitors significantly ...

Abstract A fixed‐dose combination (FDC) tablet formulation of donepezil/memantine (10/20 mg) was developed to improve medication compliance in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study compared the pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics and safety profiles of an FDC formulation (donepezil/memantine [10/20 mg]) and single components (SCs) of ...

Vesicular glutamatergic transmission in noise-induced loss and repair of cochlear ribbon synapses [PDF]
Noise-induced excitotoxicity is thought to depend on glutamate. However, the excitotoxic mechanisms are unknown, and the necessity of glutamate for synapse loss or regeneration is unclear. Despite absence of glutamatergic transmission from cochlear inner

Permissive role for mGlu1 metabotropic glutamate receptors in excitotoxic retinal degeneration [PDF]
Neuroprotection is an unmet need in eye disorders characterized by retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death, such as prematurity-induced retinal degeneration, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration.

Abstract Background The endocannabinoid system is a neuromodulatory system implicated in cellular processes during both development and regeneration. The Mexican axolotl, one of only a few vertebrates capable of central nervous system regeneration, was used to examine the role of the endocannabinoid system in the regeneration of the tail and spinal ...

Neurodegeneration in brain is linked to both excitotoxicity and neuroimmune gene induction, although the mechanisms are poorly understood. High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a cytokine like molecule released in brain by glutamate that has been found to

Wide therapeutic time window for nimesulide neuroprotection in a model of transient focal cerebral ischemia in the rat [PDF]
Results from several studies indicate that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is involved ischemic brain injury. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the neuroprotective effects of the selective COX-2 inhibitor nimesulide on cerebral infarction and ...
