Targeting cholesterol homeostasis to fight hearing loss: a new perspective

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2015
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a major pathology of the inner ear that affects nearly 600 million people worldwide. Despite intensive researches, this major health problem remains without satisfactory solutions.

Disruption of nNOS-NOS1AP protein-protein interactions suppresses neuropathic pain in mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Elevated N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) activity is linked to central sensitization and chronic pain. However, NMDAR antagonists display limited therapeutic potential because of their adverse side effects. Novel approaches targeting the NR2B-PSD95-

Dual‐Responsive Multi‐Functional Silica Nanoparticles With Repaired Mitochondrial Functions for Efficient Alleviation of Spinal Cord Injury

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
Targeting mitochondrial dysfunction presents a potential therapeutic approach for treating spinal cord injury. We have successfully designed and synthesized a functional Se@NADH nanodrug system. This system offers neuroprotective and neuroregenerative benefits by modulating mitochondrial function and neutralizing reactive oxygen species, thereby ...

Age-dependent decrease in glutamine synthetase expression in the hippocampal astroglia of the triple transgenic Alzheimer's disease mouse model: mechanism for deficient glutamatergic transmission?

open access: yesMolecular Neurodegeneration, 2011
Astrocytes are fundamental for brain homeostasis and the progression and outcome of many neuropathologies including Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the triple transgenic mouse model of AD (3xTg-AD) generalised hippocampal astroglia atrophy precedes a ...

Mitochondria and neuronal glutamate excitotoxicity

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 1998
The role of mitochondria in the control of glutamate excitotoxicity is investigated. The response of cultured cerebellar granule cells to continuous glutamate exposure is characterised by a transient elevation in cytoplasmic free calcium concentration followed by decay to a plateau as NMDA receptors partially inactivate. After a variable latent period,

Ketamine: A Neuroanesthesiologist's Friend or Foe?

open access: yesJournal of Neuroanaesthesiology and Critical Care, 2018
Ketamine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, introduced into clinical practice six decades ago, has often been the worst fear of a neuroanesthesiologist due to its concerns of causing a rise in intracranial pressure and increasing ...

NSC-34 Motor Neuron-Like Cells Are Unsuitable as Experimental Model for Glutamate-Mediated Excitotoxicity

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016
Glutamate-induced excitotoxicity is a major contributor to motor neuron degeneration in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The spinal cord × Neuroblastoma hybrid cell line (NSC-34) is often used as a bona fide cellular model to ...

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Improve Recovery, whereas Omega-6 Fatty Acids Worsen Outcome, after Spinal Cord Injury in the Adult Rat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a cause of major neurological disability, and no satisfactory treatment is currently available. Evidence suggests that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) could target some of the pathological mechanisms that underlie damage ...

In vivo and in vitro effects of multiple sclerosis immunomodulatory therapeutics on glutamatergic excitotoxicity

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, 2016
In multiple sclerosis (MS), a candidate downstream mechanism for neuronal injury is glutamate (Glu)‐induced excitotoxicity, leading to toxic increases in intraneuronal Ca2+.
