Respiratory infection with influenza A virus delays remyelination and alters oligodendrocyte metabolism

iScience
Summary: Peripheral viral infection disrupts oligodendrocyte (OL) homeostasis such that endogenous remyelination may be affected. Here, we demonstrate that influenza A virus infection perpetuated a demyelination- and disease-associated OL phenotype ...

Identification of a Unique TGF-β Dependent Molecular and Functional Signature in Microglia

Nature Neuroscience, 2013
Microglia are myeloid cells of the CNS that participate both in normal CNS function and in disease. We investigated the molecular signature of microglia and identified 239 genes and 8 microRNAs that were uniquely or highly expressed in microglia versus ...

Normal spatial learning and improved spatial working memory in mice (mus musculus) lacking dopamine d4 receptors [PDF]

, 2001
Dopamine terminals in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex modulate cognitive processes such as spatial learning and working memory. Because dopamine D4 receptors are expressed in these brain areas we have analyzed mutant mice lacking this receptor ...

Longitudinal Study of Salivary Biomarkers in the Definition of Clinico‐Molecular Progression of Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Longitudinal changes in salivary biomarkers in Parkinson’s disease (PD) from early (T0) to 4‐year follow‐up (T1), quantified by ELISA: oligomeric and total α‐synuclein, total and phosphorylated tau, MAP1LC3B (autophagy), and TNFa (inflammation). Blue arrows indicate direction of change at T1 vs T0 (up = increase; down = decrease).

NF1-dependent disruption of the blood-nerve-barrier is improved by blockade of P2RY14

iScience
Summary: The blood-nerve-barrier (BNB) that regulates peripheral nerve homeostasis is formed by endoneurial capillaries and perineurial cells surrounding the Schwann cell (SC)-rich endoneurium.

Paxillin facilitates timely neurite initiation on soft-substrate environments by interacting with the endocytic machinery. [PDF]

, 2017
Neurite initiation is the first step in neuronal development and occurs spontaneously in soft tissue environments. Although the mechanisms regulating the morphology of migratory cells on rigid substrates in cell culture are widely known, how soft ...

Exploring Nasal Structural‐Microbial Interactions in Multiple Sclerosis‐Associated Olfactory Impairment

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Olfactory dysfunction is frequently observed in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS); however, its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. To date, no studies have directly examined the nasal mucosal microbiota in MS. This study aimed to explore potential relationships among olfactory function, nasal microbiota composition,

Mitochondrial methylcytosines as blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease dementia prognosis

iScience
Summary: Alzheimer’s Disease Dementia (ADD) prognosis is an unmet medical need. Mitochondrial dysfunction is an early AD etiopathogenic factor. The present study analyzed mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) methylation patterns in blood samples from patients with ...

CSF Mitochondrial DNA: Biomarker of Body Composition and Energy Metabolism in Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cell‐free mitochondrial DNA (cf‐mtDNA) is a potential biomarker for Parkinson's disease (PD), but its clinical relevance remains unclear. We investigated associations between CSF cf‐mtDNA levels, body composition, nutritional status, and metabolic biomarkers in PD. Methods CSF cf‐mtDNA levels, defined as the

CASK regulates CaMKII autophosphorylation in neuronal growth, calcium signaling, and learning [PDF]

, 2013
Calcium (Ca2+)/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) activity plays a fundamental role in learning and memory. A key feature of CaMKII in memory formation is its ability to be regulated by autophosphorylation, which switches its activity on and ...
