The APCs of neuroprotection [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2009
Mutations in the enzyme superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) have been linked to the neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In this issue of the JCI, Zhong et al. report that the endogenous anticoagulant activated protein C (APC) is able to cross the blood-spinal cord barrier in mice and signal to both neuronal and non-neuronal cells ...

Neuroprotection in glaucoma [PDF]

Cell and Tissue Research, 2013
Glaucoma is a frequent eye disease in the elderly and the second leading cause of irreversible blindness both in developed and developing countries (Resnikoff et al. 2004). Presently, about 50 million people are blind from glaucoma worldwide, a number that has not significantly changed over the last decade (Resnikoff et al. 2004; Thylefors et al. 1995).

Microglia and neuroprotection [PDF]

Journal of Neurochemistry, 2015
AbstractMicroglia were first identified over a century ago, but our knowledge about their ontogeny and functions has significantly expanded only recently. Microglia colonize the central nervous system (CNS) in utero and play essential roles in brain development.

Muscle‐Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles Mediate Exercise‐Induced Cognitive Protection in Chronic Cerebral Hypoperfusion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
sEVs have a critical role in orchestrating interorgan crosstalk and mediating exercise‐induced therapeutic effects. Lin et al. demonstrates that sEVs miR‐17/20a‐5p mediates the muscle‐brain crosstalk and emphasizes the central role of mTOR signaling in executing molecular programs that can protect brain health in response to exercise. Abstract Physical
