Neuropathogenesis of Japanese Encephalitis in a Primate Model

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
BACKGROUND Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity for which there is no treatment. In addition to direct viral cytopathology, the inflammatory response is postulated to contribute to the pathogenesis. Our goal was to determine the contribution of bystander effects and inflammatory mediators to neuronal cell death ...

Neuropathogenesis of Old World Alphaviruses: Considerations for the Development of Medical Countermeasures

open access: yesViruses
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and other alphaviruses that primarily induce arthritogenic disease in humans, known as “Old World” alphaviruses, present an emerging public health concern as geographic ranges of mosquito vectors expand due to climate change ...

Subcellular Mechanisms of Presenilin-Mediated Enhancement of Calcium Signaling

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2001
Mutations in presenilin-1 (PS1), the leading cause of early-onset, autosomal-dominant familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD), enhance calcium signaling mediated by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3).

Neuropathogenesis-on-chips for neurodegenerative diseases

open access: yesNature Communications
AbstractDeveloping diagnostics and treatments for neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) is challenging due to multifactorial pathogenesis that progresses gradually. Advanced in vitro systems that recapitulate patient-like pathophysiology are emerging as alternatives to conventional animal-based models.

The Role of GM-CSF in the Neuropathogenesis of Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV)

open access: yes, 2021
Why do neurocognitive disorders persist in people living with HIV while taking combination antiretroviral therapy (cART)? • The brain is a known reservoir for HIV. • HIV can act on myeloid cell populations like macrophages.

Sialic acid and PirB are not required for targeting of neural circuits by neurotropic mammalian orthoreovirus

open access: yesmSphere
Serotype 3 (T3) strains of mammalian orthoreovirus (reovirus) spread to the central nervous system to infect the brain and cause lethal encephalitis in newborn mice.

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Neuropathogenesis: A Model for HIV-Induced CNS Inflammation and Neurodegeneration

open access: yes, 2017
Feline Immunodeficiency virus (FIV), similar to its human analog human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), enters the central nervous system (CNS) soon after infection and establishes a protected viral reservoir.

Analysis Of The Role For Antioxidant Enzyme Heme Oxygenase-1 In Brain Regional Hiv Neuropathogenesis And Blood-Brain Barrier Function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
HIV-associated neurocognitive impairment (HIV NCI) persists in persons living with HIV (PLWH) despite the availability of suppressive combination antiretroviral therapy. Chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption are

IFNγ selectively induces astrocyte heme oxygenase-1 degradation: A novel proteasome role in HIV neuropathogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) affect 30% of infected patients despite suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART) and are associated with chronic immune activation and oxidative stress within the systemic circulation and central nervous ...

Neuropathogenesis of naturally occurring encephalitis caused by Listeria monocytogenes in ruminants

open access: yes, 2010
Listeriosis is a serious food-borne disease with increasing frequency in humans and ruminants. Despite the facts that in both hosts, listeriosis can occur as rhombencephalitis and ruminants are a reservoir of Listeria monocytogenes (LM) strains ...
