Identification and Characterization of Novel Small-Molecule SMOX Inhibitors
Medical Sciences, 2022 The major intracellular polyamines spermine and spermidine are abundant and ubiquitous compounds that are essential for cellular growth and development. Spermine catabolism is mediated by spermine oxidase (SMOX), a highly inducible flavin-dependent amine

VEGFD Protects Retinal Ganglion Cells and, consequently, Capillaries against Excitotoxic Injury
Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2020 In the central nervous system, neurons and the vasculature influence each other. While it is well described that a functional vascular system is trophic to neurons and that vascular damage contributes to neurodegeneration, the opposite scenario in which ...

Inappropriate Intrusion of an Axonal Mitochondrial Anchor into Dendrites Causes Neurodegeneration
Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: Syntaphilin (SNPH) is a major mitochondrial anchoring protein targeted to axons and excluded from dendrites. In this study, we provide in vivo evidence that this spatial specificity is lost in Shiverer (Shi) mice, a model for progressive ...

Wide therapeutic time window for nimesulide neuroprotection in a model of transient focal cerebral ischemia in the rat [PDF]
, 2004 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 ...
