Gene profiling of identified neurons to dissect molecular mechanisms involved in spinal reflex assembly [PDF]

, 2010
The central question during my PhD studies was to understand the molecular mechanisms and genetic cascades controlling the sequential specification of distinct classes of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) sensory neurons, with a particular focus on genes ...

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

Frontiers 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.

The management of motor neurone disease [PDF]

Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2003
The management of motor neurone disease (MND) has evolved rapidly over the last two decades. Although still incurable, MND is not untreatable. From an attitude of nihilism, treatments and interventions that prolong survival have been developed. These treatments do not, however, arrest progression or reverse weakness.

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Live axonal transport disruption by mutant huntingtin fragments in Drosophila motor neuron axons [PDF]

, 2009
Huntington's Disease is a neurodegenerative condition caused by a polyglutamine expansion in thehuntingtin (Htt) protein, which aggregates and also causes neuronal dysfunction. Pathogenic N-terminal httfragments perturb axonal transport in vitro.

Gain-of-function mutations in the ALS8 causative gene VAPB have detrimental effects on neurons and muscles

Biology Open, 2013
Summary Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a motor neuron degenerative disease characterized by a progressive, and ultimately fatal, muscle paralysis. The human VAMP-Associated Protein B (hVAPB) is the causative gene of ALS type 8.

TDP-43 is a ubiquitylation substrate of the SCFcyclin F complex

Neurobiology of Disease, 2022
Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterised by the loss of upper and lower motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Focus on the role of D-serine and D-amino acid oxidase in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis/ Motor Neuron Disease (ALS) [PDF]

, 2018
We have investigated a pathogenic mutation in D-amino acid oxidase (DAO), DAOR199W, associated with familial Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) that impairs D-serine metabolism and causes protein aggregation, autophagy and cell death in motor neuron ...

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.
