The Role of DNA Damage in Neural Plasticity in Physiology and Neurodegeneration

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022
Damage to DNA is generally considered to be a harmful process associated with aging and aging-related disorders such as neurodegenerative diseases that involve the selective death of specific groups of neurons.

Motor Neuron Disease

open access: yesThe Neurologist, 2009
The existence of a large number of neurological diseases in which the motor neuron is the principal site of pathology suggests that these cells and their neuronal networks have a specific set of vulnerabilities. Recent research, largely based on relatively rare genetic forms of motor neuron disease, indicates that these cells are vulnerable to defects ...

Advances in motor neurone disease [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 2014
Summary Motor neurone disease (MND), the commonest clinical presentation of which is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is regarded as the most devastating of adult-onset neurodegenerative disorders. The last decade has seen major improvements in patient care, but also rapid scientific advances, so that rational therapies based on ...

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Spermidine treatment: induction of autophagy but also apoptosis?

open access: yesMolecular Brain
Machado-Joseph disease (MJD), also known as spinocerebellar ataxia type 3, is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that causes loss of balance and motor co-ordination, eventually leading to paralysis.

Management of motor neurone disease [PDF]

open access: yesPostgraduate Medical Journal, 2002
Abstract Motor neurone disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder leading to severe disability and death. It is clinically characterised by mixed upper and lower motor neurone involvement affecting bulbar, limb, and respiratory musculature.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis – a motor neuron disease. Case report [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Charcot’s disease and motor neuron disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that causes muscle weakness, paralysis, and ultimately, respiratory failure.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Cyclin F can alter the turnover of TDP-43

open access: yesNeurobiology 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.

Intraperitoneal Injection of Neonatal Mice

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2023
Administration of substances into neonatal mice is required for early treatment with pre-clinical therapeutics, delivery of recombination-inducing substances, and dosing with viruses or toxins, amongst other things.
