Nilotinib, an approved leukemia drug, inhibits smoothened signaling in Hedgehog-dependent medulloblastoma. [PDF]

, 2019
Dysregulation of the seven-transmembrane (7TM) receptor Smoothened (SMO) and other components of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway contributes to the development of cancers including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and medulloblastoma (MB).

Molecular mechanisms of neurogenic aging in the adult mouse subventricular zone [PDF]

, 2019
In the adult rodent brain, the continuous production of new neurons by neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) residing in specialized neurogenic niches and their subsequent integration into pre-existing cerebral circuitries supports odour discrimination ...

Blocking Zika virus vertical transmission. [PDF]

, 2018
The outbreak of the Zika virus (ZIKV) has been associated with increased incidence of congenital malformations. Although recent efforts have focused on vaccine development, treatments for infected individuals are needed urgently. Sofosbuvir (SOF), an FDA-

Genotype-specific differences between mouse CNS stem cell lines expressing frontotemporal dementia mutant or wild type human tau. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Stem cell (SC) lines that capture the genetics of disease susceptibility provide new research tools. To assess the utility of mouse central nervous system (CNS) SC-containing neurosphere cultures for studying heritable neurodegenerative disease, we ...

Neural derivation of human dental pulp stem cells via neurosphere technique.

Bratislava Medical Journal, 2018
INTRODUCTION Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) are multipotent stem cells providing an autologous noninvasive cell source. The study evaluates the neurogenic potential of hDPSCs using neural growth factor inducers and neurosphere technique ...

Proton MR Spectroscopy of Neural Stem Cells: Does the Proton-NMR Peak at 1.28 ppm Function As a Biomarker for Cell Type or State? [PDF]

, 2011
Recently, a peak at 1.28 ppm in proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (^1H-MRS) of neural stem cells (NSCs) was introduced as a noninterventional biomarker for neurogenesis in vivo. This would be an urgently needed requisite for translational studies in

Engineering Topographical Cues to Enhance Neural Regeneration in Spinal Cord Injury: Overcoming Challenges and Advancing Therapies

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) poses significant challenges for regeneration due to a series of secondary injury mechanisms. How to use biomaterial approach to target the failed regeneration after SCI remains a critical challenge. This review systematically evaluates current strategies to optimize biomaterial topographies for neurite outgrowth, axonal ...

In vitro neurosphere formation correlates with poor survival in glioma

IUBMB Life - A Journal of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2018
Sphere formation is an indicator of tumor aggressiveness independent of the tumor grade; however, its relation to progression‐free survival (PFS) is less known. This study was designed to assess the neurosphere forming ability among low grade glioma (LGG)

Chronic wasting disease prion infection of differentiated neurospheres [PDF]

Prion, 2017
A possible strategy to develop more diverse cell culture systems permissive to infection with naturally occurring prions is to exploit culture of neurospheres from transgenic mice expressing the normal prion protein (PrP) of the native host species. Accordingly, we developed differentiated neurosphere cultures from the cervid PrP-expressing mice to ...
