Metals and Neurodegeneration [PDF]
F1000Research, 2016 Metals play important roles in the human body, maintaining cell structure and regulating gene expression, neurotransmission, and antioxidant response, to name a few. However, excessive metal accumulation in the nervous system may be toxic, inducing oxidative stress, disrupting mitochondrial function, and impairing the activity of numerous enzymes ...

Chaperones in Neurodegeneration [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2015 Cellular protein homeostasis (proteostasis) maintains the integrity of the proteome and includes protein synthesis, folding, oligomerization, and turnover; chaperone proteins assist with all of these processes. Neurons appear to be especially susceptible to failures in proteostasis, and this is now increasingly recognized as a major origin of ...

New zebrafish models of neurodegeneration [PDF]
, 2015 In modern biomedicine, the increasing need to develop experimental models to further our understanding of disease conditions and delineate innovative treatments has found in the zebrafish (Danio rerio) an experimental model, and indeed a valuable asset ...

Changes in neuronal CycD/Cdk4 activity affect aging, neurodegeneration, and oxidative stress. [PDF]
, 2015 Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in human diseases, including cancer, and proposed to accelerate aging. The Drosophila Cyclin-dependent protein kinase complex cyclin D/cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CycD/Cdk4) promotes cellular growth by ...

Reformulating Pro-Oxidant Microglia in Neurodegeneration [PDF]
, 2019 In neurodegenerative diseases, microglia-mediated neuroinflammation and oxidative stress are central events. Recent genome-wide transcriptomic analyses of microglial cells under different disease conditions have uncovered a new subpopulation named ...

Inactivation of presenilins causes pre-synaptic impairment prior to post-synaptic dysfunction [PDF]
, 2010 Synaptic dysfunction is widely thought to be a pathogenic precursor to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and the extent of synaptic loss provides the best correlate for the severity of dementia in AD patients.

Evolution of Neurodegeneration [PDF]
Current Biology, 2012 A number of neurodegenerative diseases principally affect humans as they age and are characterized by the loss of specific groups of neurons in different brain regions. Although these disorders are generally sporadic, it is now clear that many of them have a substantial genetic component.

DNA strand break repair and neurodegeneration. [PDF]
, 2013 A number of DNA repair disorders are known to cause neurological problems. These disorders can be broadly characterised into early developmental, mid-to-late developmental or progressive.

Mitochondria and Neurodegeneration
Bioscience Reports, 2007 Many lines of evidence suggest that mitochondria have a central role in ageing-related neurodegenerative diseases. However, despite the evidence of morphological, biochemical and molecular abnormalities in mitochondria in various tissues of patients with neurodegenerative disorders, the question “is mitochondrial dysfunction a necessary step in ...
