Targeting signaling pathways in neurodegenerative diseases: Quercetin's cellular and molecular mechanisms for neuroprotection

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Quercetin regulates signaling pathways in neurodegenerative diseases, including NF‐κB, sirtuins, and PI3K/Akt. Studies show quercetin improves symptoms and pathology in neurodegenerative models. The study aims to incorporate laboratory research into practical medical treatment, focusing on quercetin's neuroprotective effects and optimal dosage ...

Pro-death NMDA receptor signaling is promoted by the GluN2B C-terminus independently of Dapk1

eLife, 2017
Aberrant NMDA receptor (NMDAR) activity contributes to several neurological disorders, but direct antagonism is poorly tolerated therapeutically. The GluN2B cytoplasmic C-terminal domain (CTD) represents an alternative therapeutic target since it ...

mTOR-related cell-clearing systems in epileptic seizures, an update [PDF]

, 2020
Recent evidence suggests that autophagy impairment is implicated in the epileptogenic mechanisms downstream of mTOR hyperactivation. This holds true for a variety of genetic and acquired epileptic syndromes besides malformations of cortical development ...

Purine Metabolism and Dystonia: Perspectives of a Long‐Promised Relationship

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Purine pool imbalance in purine metabolism disorders, such as Lesch–Nyhan disease, intersects with dystonia pathogenesis. The recent discovery of gain‐of‐function IMPDH2 pathogenic variants in patients with prominent dystonic manifestations provides new insights into the link between dystonia and purinergic system defects.

Pharmacological Sequestration of Mitochondrial Calcium Uptake Protects Neurons Against Glutamate Excitotoxicity

Molecular Neurobiology, 2018
Neuronal excitotoxicity which is induced by exposure to excessive extracellular glutamate is shown to be involved in neuronal cell death in acute brain injury and a number of neurological diseases.

Permissive role for mGlu1 metabotropic glutamate receptors in excitotoxic retinal degeneration [PDF]

, 2017
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.

Role of Glutamate Excitotoxicity in Glioblastoma Growth and Its Implications in Treatment

Cell Biology International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glioblastoma is a highly malignant and invasive type of primary brain tumor that originates from astrocytes. Glutamate, a neurotransmitter in the brain plays a crucial role in excitotoxic cell death. Excessive glutamate triggers a pathological process known as glutamate excitotoxicity, leading to neuronal damage.

Evaluation of the neuroprotective efficacy of the gramine derivative ITH12657 against NMDA-induced excitotoxicity in the rat retina

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy
PurposeThe aim of this study was to investigate, the neuroprotective effects of a new Gramine derivative named: ITH12657, in a model of retinal excitotoxicity induced by intravitreal injection of NMDA.MethodsAdult Sprague Dawley rats received an ...
