Three-Dimensional Model of Dorsal Root Ganglion Explant as a Method of Studying Neurotrophic Factors in Regenerative Medicine

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2020
Neurotrophiс factors play a key role in the development, differentiation, and survival of neurons and nerve regeneration. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of certain neurotrophic factors (NGF, BDNF, and GDNF) on axon growth and migration of ...

TH/TRs–COL11A2 Axis Mediates Loss of a Differentiated Astrocyte State in Hypogyrified Brains

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Using a gyrencephalic congenital hypothyroidism pig model, this study reveals cerebral atrophy and cortical hypogyrification. Single‐cell sequencing identifies astrocytes as major TH‐responsive cells, with the COL11A2‐enriched Astro‐2 state nearly absent.

GDNF and its receptors : a structure-function analysis of the NCAM-GDNF-GFRalpha1 complex and an examination of potential receptor candidates

open access: yes, 2008
Neurotrophic factors are small, secreted proteins that are important players in the development and maintenance of the nervous system. Their functions span from neuronal survival and migration to neurite outgrowth and axon guidance, and in some cases ...

Two-fold elevation of endogenous GDNF levels in mice improves motor coordination without causing side-effects

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) promotes the survival of dopaminergic neurons in vitro and in vivo. For this reason, GDNF is currently in clinical trials for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD).

Co‐activation of Selective Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subtypes Is Required for Neuroprotection against Alzheimer's Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beta‐amyloid peptide (Aβ)‐induced suppression of hippocampal GABAergic interneuron activity drives hyperexcitability, amyloid pathology, and cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease (AD), suggesting that enhancing hippocampal inhibition may be protective.

Developmentally Guided Differentiation of Ventral Midbrain Dopaminergic Cells Validated in Proteopathy‐Based Parkinson's Disease Models

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A developmentally guided protocol reproducibly specifies EN1‐positive ventral midbrain dopaminergic (vmDA) progenitors from human pluripotent stem cells and yields functional vmDA neurons. Optogenetic induction of α‐synuclein aggregation elicits selective degeneration of TH‐positive neurons in 2D cultures and 3D neurospheroids, while transplanted ...

GDNF Enhances Therapeutic Efficiency of Neural Stem Cells-Based Therapy in Chronic Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis in Rat

open access: yesStem Cells International, 2016
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease in the CNS. The current immunomodulating drugs for MS do not effectively prevent the progressive neurological decline.

A Water Compartment Cell Culture Lid Enables Stable Longitudinal Recording of Neuronal Networks In Vitro

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A cell culture lid with an integrated water compartment eliminates evaporation from microelectrode arrays while preserving gas exchange. Freed from the osmotic drift and repeated medium exchanges that disturb conventional recordings, patterned human iPSC‐derived neuronal networks are recorded continuously for five weeks. Single‐spike resolution reveals

GDNF was not intracerebrally detected by immunohistochemistry or ELISA methods.

open access: yes, 2013
(A to C) Coronal images of GDNF immunostained striatal sections of vehicle (A), 1 mg/kg (B), and 5 mg/kg (C) HIRmAb-GDNF treatments. *Inset in (A) corresponds to a positive control tissue stained in parallel from a monkey that received intracerebral ...
