Cytotoxic Effects of G Ganglioside and Amyloid β-Peptide on Mouse Embryonic Neural Stem Cells
AD (Alzheimer's disease) is a neurodegenerative disease and the most common form of dementia. One of the pathological hallmarks of AD is the aggregation of extracellular Aβs (amyloid β-peptides) in senile plaques in the brain.

Colocalization of the Ganglioside GM1 and Cholesterol Detected by Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry [PDF]
The characterization of the lateral organization of components in biological membranes and the evolution of this arrangement in response to external triggers remain a major challenge. The concept of lipid rafts is widely invoked; however, direct evidence of the existence of these ephemeral entities remains elusive.

Co-segregation of AMPA receptors with G(M1) ganglioside in synaptosomal membrane subfractions. [PDF]
Biochemical studies have suggested that certain synaptic proteins associate with lipid rafts to perform key functions within the synapse. However, variability in biochemical preparations raises questions as to which synaptic proteins actually associate with lipid rafts.

THE EFFECT OF MONOSIALOGANGLYOSIDE (GM-1) ADMINISTRATION IN SPINAL CORD INJURY [PDF]
Objective: To evaluate the effect of monosialoganglioside (GM-1) in spinal cord trauma patients seen in our service who have not been treated with methylprednisolone. Methods: Thirty patients with acute spinal cord trauma were randomly divided into two

Conformation of the Oligosaccharide Chain of GM1 Ganglioside in a Carbohydrate-Enriched Surface [PDF]
The solution structure of ganglioside G(M1) carbohydrate moiety at the surface of a 102-kDa lipid-modified-G(M1) micelle is investigated by high-resolution 1H-NMR in H2O. The micellar surface can be considered a cluster-like lateral distribution of the gangliosides, each single monomer being anchored in a carbohydrate-enriched model membrane matrix. 1H

Condensing and Fluidizing Effects of Ganglioside GM1 on Phospholipid Films [PDF]
Mixed monolayers of the ganglioside G(M1) and the lipid dipalmitoylphosphatidlycholine (DPPC) at air-water and solid-air interfaces were investigated using various biophysical techniques to ascertain the location and phase behavior of the ganglioside molecules in a mixed membrane.

Interaction between ganglioside GM1 and diosgenin in langmuir monolayers at the air/water interface [PDF]
SummaryThe interaction between ganglioside GM1 (GM1) and diosgenin (Dios) in mixed monolayers was investigated using surface pressure measurements and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The miscibility and stability of the mixed monolayer was evaluated both in a qualitative and quantitative way in terms of the excess mean molecular area (ΔAex), excess ...
