Redox Biology, 2018 Generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been shown to be important for many physiological processes, ranging from cell differentiation to apoptosis. With the development of the genetically encoded photosensitiser KillerRed (KR) it is now possible

Mechanisms of Development, 2001 Like other motile cells, neurons migrate in three schematic steps, namely leading edge extension, nuclear translocation or nucleokinesis, and retraction of the trailing process. In addition, neurons are ordered into architectonic patterns at the end of migration. Leading edge extension can proceed at the extremity of the axon, by growth cone formation,

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Heliyon, 2017 Long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission in the central nervous system is a key form of cortical plasticity. The insular cortex (IC) is known to play important roles in pain perception, aversive memory and mood disorders.

The era of cryptic exons: implications for ALS-FTD
Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2023 TDP-43 is an RNA-binding protein with a crucial nuclear role in splicing, and mislocalises from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in a range of neurodegenerative disorders.

A Neuron as a Signal Processing Device
, 2014 A neuron is a basic physiological and computational unit of the brain. While much is known about the physiological properties of a neuron, its computational role is poorly understood.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Spermidine treatment: induction of autophagy but also apoptosis?
Molecular BrainMachado-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.

Influence of firing mechanisms on gain modulation
, 2008 We studied the impact of a dynamical threshold on the f-I curve-the relationship between the input and the firing rate of a neuron-in the presence of background synaptic inputs.
