Scaling proprioceptor gene transcription by retrograde NT3 signaling [PDF]

, 2011
The assembly of neuronal circuits depends critically on the sequential activation of transcriptional programs in defined neuronal sub-populations. In the spinal cord, retrograde signaling interactions from the periphery have been shown to be essential ...

The Regulatory Machinery of Neurodegeneration in In Vitro Models of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Cell Reports, 2015
Neurodegenerative phenotypes reflect complex, time-dependent molecular processes whose elucidation may reveal neuronal class-specific therapeutic targets. The current focus in neurodegeneration has been on individual genes and pathways.

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

User expectations and experiences of an assistive robotic arm in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a multicenter observational study

Neurological Research and Practice
Objective Robotic arms are innovative assistive devices for ALS patients with progressive motor deficits of arms and hands. The objective was to explore the patients´ expectations towards a robotic arm system and to assess the actual experiences after ...

Cyclin F can alter the turnover of TDP-43

Neurobiology of Disease
Previously, we demonstrated that the SCFcyclin F complex directly mediates the poly-ubiquitylation of TDP-43, raising the question of whether cyclin F can be used to enhance the turnover of TDP-43.

Going viral − Virus‐targeting nanobodies for research, diagnostics and therapy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The increasing prevalence of viral diseases represents a major threat for global human health. Nanobodies, small binding fragments derived from camelid heavy‐chain antibodies, offer versatile tools for viral research, diagnostics, and antiviral therapy.

Motor Neuron Susceptibility in ALS/FTD

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the death of both upper and lower motor neurons (MNs) in the brain, brainstem and spinal cord.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Stimulation of motor tracts in motor neuron disease. [PDF]

Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 1987
The muscle responses evoked by cortical and cervical stimulation in 11 patients with motor neuron disease were studied. The muscle potential in the abductor pollicis brevis, evoked by median nerve stimulation and the somatosensory potential evoked by wrist stimulation were also studied.

Multi-region brain transcriptomic analysis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis reveals widespread RNA alterations and substantial cerebellum involvement

Molecular Neurodegeneration
Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that primarily affects the motor neurons, causing progressive muscle weakness and paralysis.
