Tackling obstacles for gene therapy targeting neurons: disrupting perineural nets with hyaluronidase improves transduction. [PDF]
Gene therapy has been proposed for many diseases in the nervous system. In most cases for successful treatment, therapeutic vectors must be able to transduce mature neurons. However, both in vivo, and in vitro, where preliminary characterisation of viral

Glucagon‐Like Peptide‐1 Targets in the Human Nodose Ganglion
Our findings demonstrate that the human nodose ganglion expresses Glp1r mRNA and reveal species similarities and differences in Glp1r expression between humans and mice. ABSTRACT Given the rapidly expanding clinical use of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor (GLP1R) agonists—well‐known for their antidiabetic and antiobesity effects—it is increasingly ...

The Mechanisms of Chondroitin Sulphate Lyases Treatment in Promotion of Axonal Growth [PDF]
Poster PresentationIn Injured nerves, chondroitin sulphate (CS) is upregulated forming barriers with astrocytes/fibroblasts and other extracellular matrix molecules, and thereby hampering nerve regeneration.

Enhancement of visual cortex plasticity by dark exposure [PDF]
Dark rearing is known to delay the time course of the critical period for ocular dominance plasticity in the visual cortex. Recent evidence suggests that a period of dark exposure (DE) may enhance or reinstate plasticity even after closure of the ...

Postnatal lethality and chondrodysplasia in mice lacking both chondroitin sulfate N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase-1 and -2 [PDF]
Chondroitin sulfate (CS) is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chain. In cartilage, CS plays important roles as the main component of the extracellular matrix (ECM), existing as side chains of the major cartilage proteoglycan, aggrecan.

Chondroitinase ABC-I and -II linked chitosan microbeads increase neurtire length in CSPG-enriched astrocyte culture [PDF]
Poster Presentation - Theme 5: NeuroscienceAfter spinal cord injury, axonal regrowth is often restricted due to upregulation of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) at the lesion site.

Saccadic Palsy following Cardiac Surgery: Possible Role of Perineuronal Nets.
ObjectivePerineuronal nets (PN) form a specialized extracellular matrix around certain highly active neurons within the central nervous system and may help to stabilize synaptic contacts, promote local ion homeostasis, or play a protective role.

The neural extracellular matrix (ECM) is enriched with hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) and the glycoprotein tenascin-R, which play important roles in synaptic plasticity, as shown by studies of the CA1 region of the hippocampus.
