Natalizumab affects T-cell phenotype in multiple sclerosis: implications for JCV reactivation [PDF]
The anti-CD49d monoclonal antibody natalizumab is currently an effective therapy against the relapsing-remitting form of multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Natalizumab therapeutic efficacy is limited by the reactivation of the John Cunningham polyomavirus (JCV ...

Conditional gene deletion reveals functional redundancy of GABAB receptors in peripheral nociceptors in vivo [PDF]
Background Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an important inhibitory neurotransmitter which mainly mediates its effects on neurons via ionotropic (GABAA) and metabotropic (GABAB) receptors.

What's the Function of Connexin 32 in the Peripheral Nervous System? [PDF]
Connexin 32 (Cx32) is a fundamental protein in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) as its mutations cause the X-linked form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT1X), the second most common form of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy and a demyelinating

Using Stem Cells to Grow Artificial Tissue for Peripheral Nerve Repair [PDF]
Peripheral nerve injury continues to pose a clinical hurdle despite its frequency and advances in treatment. Unlike the central nervous system, neurons of the peripheral nervous system have a greater ability to regenerate.

Rapid testing leads to the underestimation of the scrapie prevalence in an affected sheep and goat flock [PDF]
To obtain a more detailed understanding of the prevalence of classical scrapie infections in a heavily affected German sheep flock (composed of 603 sheep and 6 goats), we analysed 169 sheep and 6 goats that carried the genotypes susceptible to the ...

Regulation of peripheral inflammation by spinal p38 MAP kinase in rats. [PDF]
BackgroundSomatic afferent input to the spinal cord from a peripheral inflammatory site can modulate the peripheral response. However, the intracellular signaling mechanisms in the spinal cord that regulate this linkage have not been defined.
