Growth Standards for Children With Smith–Magenis Syndrome (SMS)

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smith–Magenis syndrome (SMS, OMIM 182290) is a complex syndromic diagnosis marked by neurobehavioral differences and distinct facial dysmorphisms, caused by haploinsufficiency of the retinoic acid‐1 (RAI1) gene either by a pathogenic sequence variant or deletion at chromosome 17p11.2 involving a portion or all of this gene.

The Extracellular Domain of Neurotrophin Receptor p75 as a Candidate Biomarker for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Objective biomarkers for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis would facilitate the discovery of new treatments. The common neurotrophin receptor p75 is up regulated and the extracellular domain cleaved from injured neurons and peripheral glia in amyotrophic ...

Skeletal Muscle Biomarkers of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A Large‐Scale, Multi‐Cohort Proteomic Study

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Biomarkers with clear contexts of use are important tools for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) therapy development. Understanding their longitudinal trajectory in the untreated state is key to their use as potential markers of pharmacodynamic response.

p75 Neurotrophin Receptor Cleavage by α- and γ-Secretases Is Required for Neurotrophin-mediated Proliferation of Brain Tumor-initiating Cells*

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2014
Background: p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) is an important mediator of invasion of malignant gliomas, but its role in glioma proliferation is unknown. Results: p75NTR mediates proliferation of brain tumor-initiating cells (BTICs) via its cleavage and

Recombinant Human Neuregulin1‐β1 Significantly Reduces Schwannoma Growth in Mice

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
rhNRGβ1‐Replacement‐Therapy: Under physiological conditions, NRGβ1 is expressed on axons (in orange), where it activates ERBB2 receptors, facilitating successful nerve regeneration following injury. However, loss of NF2 leads to a reduction in NRGβ1‐expression and increased ErbB2 levels on Schwann cells (in green), which contributes to schwannoma ...

Rejuvenation of the aged neuromuscular junction by exercise

open access: yesCell Stress, 2018
Age-dependent declines in muscle function are observed across species. The loss of mobility resulting from the decline in muscle function represents an important health issue and a key determinant of quality of life for the elderly.

Anatolian ground squirrel (Spermophilus xanthoprymnus) retina: Comparative expression of synaptophysin, NeuN, calbindin‐D28k, parvalbumin, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and Iba‐1 during pre‐hibernation and hibernation

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hibernation induces significant molecular and cellular adaptations in the retina to maintain function under reduced metabolic conditions. This study aimed to investigate the expression of neuronal, synaptic, and glial markers in the retina of Spermophilus xanthoprymnus during pre‐hibernation and hibernation periods using immunohistochemical ...

Altered Primary Somatosensory Neuron Development in a Pten Heterozygous Model for Autism Spectrum Disorder

open access: yesAutism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by deficits in social interactions, repetitive behaviors, and hyper‐ or hyposensitivity to sensory stimuli. The cellular mechanisms underlying the emergence of abnormal sensory sensitivity in ASD are not fully understood.

Irisin, Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), and Redox Balance in Geriatric Dynapenia

open access: yesAntioxidants
Irisin and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are considered potential biomarkers for sarcopenia; however, their interplay and relationship with oxidative stress remain unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the serum concentration

Neurotrophin Receptor p75NTR Regulates Immune Function of Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) regulate innate and adaptive immunity. Neurotrophins and their receptors control the function of neuronal tissue. In addition, they have been demonstrated to be part of the immune response but little is known about the
