CDK2 inhibition promotes neuronal differentiation in neuroblastoma [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Neuroblastoma (NB) is a childhood tumor arising from neural crest-derived progenitor cells. Cyclin dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) has been suggested to be a promising therapeutic target in NB especially MYCN-amplified tumors.

Point-Substitution of Phenylalanine Residues of 26RFa Neuropeptide: A Structure-Activity Relationship Study

Molecules, 2021
26RFa is a neuropeptide that activates the rhodopsin-like G protein-coupled receptor QRFPR/GPR103. This peptidergic system is involved in the regulation of a wide array of physiological processes including feeding behavior and glucose homeostasis. Herein,

Intranasal Administration of PACAP Is an Efficient Delivery Route to Reduce Infarct Volume and Promote Functional Recovery After Transient and Permanent Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Intranasal (IN) administration appears to be a suitable route for clinical use as it allows direct delivery of bioactive molecules to the central nervous system, reducing systemic exposure and sides effects.

Intermittent hypoxia in a mouse model of apnea of prematurity leads to a retardation of cerebellar development and long-term functional deficits

Cell & Bioscience, 2022
Background Apnea of prematurity (AOP) is caused by respiratory control immaturity and affects nearly 50% of premature newborns. This pathology induces perinatal intermittent hypoxia (IH), which leads to neurodevelopmental disorders.

Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide (PACAP) Protects Striatal Cells and Improves Motor Function in Huntington’s Disease Models: Role of PAC1 Receptor

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder caused by the expression of mutant huntingtin (mHtt). One of the main features of HD is the degeneration of the striatum that leads to motor discoordination. Pituitary adenylate cyclase-

Cytoprotective and Neurotrophic Effects of Octadecaneuropeptide (ODN) in in vitro and in vivo Models of Neurodegenerative Diseases

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
Octadecaneuropeptide (ODN) and its precursor diazepam-binding inhibitor (DBI) are peptides belonging to the family of endozepines. Endozepines are exclusively produced by astroglial cells in the central nervous system of mammals, and their release is ...
