Investigating the cell of origin and novel molecular targets in Merkel cell carcinoma: a historic misnomer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study indicates that Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) does not originate from Merkel cells, and identifies gene, protein & cellular expression of immune‐linked and neuroendocrine markers in primary and metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) tumor samples, linked to Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) status, with enrichment of B‐cell and other immune cell

Longitudinal imaging in C9orf72 mutation carriers: Relationship to phenotype

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2016
Expansion mutations in the C9orf72 gene may cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), or mixtures of the two clinical phenotypes. Different imaging findings have been described for C9orf72-associated diseases in comparison

Neuronal Development: Putting Motor Neurons in Their Place [PDF]

Current Biology, 2004
In the developing spinal cord, motor neurons occupy discrete columns with different identities and axon projections. This organisation has now been shown to depend crucially on sequential phases of expression of Hox-c proteins, generated in response to fibroblast growth factor signals.

Quo vadis motor neuron disease? [PDF]

, 2016
Motor neuron disease (MND), also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a relentlessly progressive neurodegenerative condition that is invariably fatal, usually within 3 to 5 years of diagnosis. The aetio-pathogenesis of MND remains unresolved and no

Adaptaquin is selectively toxic to glioma stem cells through disruption of iron and cholesterol metabolism

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Adaptaquin selectively kills glioma stem cells while sparing differentiated brain cells. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses show Adaptaquin disrupts iron and cholesterol homeostasis, with iron chelation amplifying cytotoxicity via cholesterol depletion, mitochondrial dysfunction, and elevated reactive oxygen species.

Gut transit and gut microbiome changes occur prior to the onset of motor impairment in a mouse model of Machado-Joseph disease

Neurobiology of Disease
We previously identified microbial shifts prior to the onset of motor and neurological symptoms within a mouse model of the fatal neurodegenerative disease Machado-Joseph disease (MJD).

Stasimon Contributes to the Loss of Sensory Synapses and Motor Neuron Death in a Mouse Model of Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Reduced expression of the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein causes the neurodegenerative disease spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Here, we show that adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9)-mediated delivery of Stasimon—a gene encoding an ...

Patient‐specific pharmacogenomics demonstrates xCT as predictive therapeutic target in colon cancer with possible implications in tumor connectivity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study integrates transcriptomic profiling of matched tumor and healthy tissues from 32 colorectal cancer patients with functional validation in patient‐derived organoids, revealing dysregulated metabolic programs driven by overexpressed xCT (SLC7A11) and SLC3A2, identifying an oncogenic cystine/glutamate transporter signature linked to ...

Dissection and Whole-Mount Immunofluorescent Staining of Mouse Hind Paw Muscles for Neuromuscular Junction Analysis

Bio-Protocol
The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a peripheral synaptic connection between a lower motor neuron and skeletal muscle fibre that enables muscle contraction in response to neuronal stimulation.

Neuronal cell culture from transgenic zebrafish models of neurodegenerative disease

Biology Open, 2018
We describe a protocol for culturing neurons from transgenic zebrafish embryos to investigate the subcellular distribution and protein aggregation status of neurodegenerative disease-causing proteins.
