Labeling of immune cells for in vivo monitoring of cell migration using magnetic resonance imaging and near-infrared imaging [PDF]

, 2006
In addition to macrophage localization, the opening of the blood brain barrier (BBB) as well as demyelination processes have been measured by MRI mapping gadolinium (Gd) related signal enhancement and magnetic transfer (MT), respectively. By successively

miRNA profile is altered in a modified EAE mouse model of multiple sclerosis featuring cortical lesions

eLife, 2020
Cortical lesions represent a hallmark of multiple sclerosis and are proposed as a predictor of disease severity. microRNAs are suggested to be important players in the disease pathogenesis and the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis animal model ...

Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Pericytes are specialised perivascular cells intimately connected with endothelial cells and essential for the maintenance of vascular beds. They contribute to the formation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix by actively secreting proteases and protease inhibitors.

Dietary carnosine intake improves outcomes in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis

, 2019
Background: Carnosine (C9H14N4O3) is a naturally occurring dipeptide synthetized from histidine and β-alanine that is mainly found in excitable tissues such as skeletal muscle and the central nervous system (CNS).

Diet modulates the therapeutic effects of dimethyl fumarate mediated by the immunometabolic neutrophil receptor HCAR2

eLife
Monomethyl fumarate (MMF) and its prodrug dimethyl fumarate (DMF) are currently the most widely used agents for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, not all patients benefit from DMF.

Hsp70 regulates immune response in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Heat shock protein (Hsp)70 is one of the most important stress-inducible proteins. Intracellular Hsp70 not only mediates chaperone-cytoprotective functions but can also block multiple steps in the apoptosis pathway.

Neuroprotective roles of klotho: Molecular pathways and therapeutic implications for cognitive health in neurological and psychiatric diseases

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Klotho, a pleiotropic protein initially identified for its role in kidney function, has garnered significant attention for its neuroprotective properties in various neurodegenerative diseases. It regulates key processes, such as oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, synaptic plasticity and myelination, all crucial for maintaining neuronal ...

Canonical and non‐canonical functions of proteins regulating mitochondrial dynamics in mammalian physiology

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that continuously remodel their architecture through coordinated cycles of fusion and fission. This review examines the four key GTPases that orchestrate mitochondrial dynamics in mammals: MFN1, MFN2, OPA1, and DRP1.

Muscle carnosine in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and multiple sclerosis

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Muscle carnosine is related to contractile function (Ca++ handling) and buffering of exercise-induced acidosis. As these muscular functions are altered in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) it is relevant to understand muscle carnosine levels in MS ...
