Neural Tube Development

open access: yesMedEdPORTAL, 2010
This web-based module provides clear, labeled animations of the significant tissues in central nervous system development of the embryo, starting with the completion of neurulation and including neural tube folding and elaboration of the brainstem ...

Thoracic and lumbar multiple neural tube defects with post repair hydrocephalus: A case report and literature review

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2023
Background: Neural tube defects are among the most common congenital anomalies, particularly in developing countries owing to significant folic acid deficiency. Nevertheless, multiple-site open neural tube defects are extremely rare.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Distinct Activities of Gli1 and Gli2 in the Absence of Ift88 and the Primary Cilia

open access: yesJournal of Developmental Biology, 2019
The primary cilia play essential roles in Hh-dependent Gli2 activation and Gli3 proteolytic processing in mammals. However, the roles of the cilia in Gli1 activation remain unresolved due to the loss of Gli1 transcription in cilia mutant embryos, and the

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

open access: yesMolecular 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.

Neurogenic decisions require a cell cycle independent function of the CDC25B phosphatase

open access: yeseLife, 2018
A fundamental issue in developmental biology and in organ homeostasis is understanding the molecular mechanisms governing the balance between stem cell maintenance and differentiation into a specific lineage.

Birth prevalence of neural tube defects and associated risk factors in Africa: a systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesBMC Pediatrics, 2021
Background Neural tube defects are common congenital anomalies that result from early malformation in the development of the spinal cord and brain. It is related to substantial mortality, morbidity, disability, and psychological and economic costs.

Exploiting metabolic adaptations to overcome dabrafenib treatment resistance in melanoma cells

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We show that dabrafenib‐resistant melanoma cells undergo mitochondrial remodeling, leading to elevated respiration and ROS production balanced by stronger antioxidant defenses. This altered redox state promotes survival despite mitochondrial damage but renders resistant cells highly vulnerable to ROS‐inducing compounds such as PEITC, highlighting redox

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

open access: yesMolecular 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 ...

Negative Regulation of mTOR Signaling Restricts Cell Proliferation in the Floor Plate

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
The neural tube is composed of a number of neural progenitors and postmitotic neurons distributed in a quantitatively and spatially precise manner.
