Targeting sialylation to treat central nervous system diseases. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-type lectins (SIGLECs) are membrane receptors that are preferentially expressed on immune cells and recognize sialylated proteins, lipids, and RNA.

Angiotensinergic neurotransmission in the peripheral autonomic nervous system. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Angiotensin (Ang) II has for long been identified as a neuropeptide located within neurons and pathways of the central nervous system involved in the control of thirst and cardio-vascular homeostasis.

Phagocytosis by Peripheral Glia: Importance for Nervous System Functions and Implications in Injury and Disease

open access: yes, 2021
The central nervous system (CNS) has very limited capacity to regenerate after traumatic injury or disease. In contrast, the peripheral nervous system (PNS) has far greater capacity for regeneration.

MFN2 KNOCKDOWN CAUSES NEUROMUSCULAR ALTERATIONS DURING ZEBRAFISH (DANIO RERIO) DEVELOPMENT: CHARACTERIZATION AND ANALYSIS OF A NEW MODEL FOR CHARCOT-MARIE-TOOTH TYPE 2A NEUROPATHY [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) diseases are the most common hereditary diseases of the peripheral nervous system. One of the most frequent, the dominant subtype CMT2A, is caused by mutations in the MFN2 gene coding for mitofusin 2, a dynamin-like GTPase ...

Bidirectional crosstalk between the peripheral nervous system and lymphoid tissues/organs

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
The central nervous system (CNS) influences the immune system generally by regulating the systemic concentration of humoral substances (e.g., cortisol and epinephrine), whereas the peripheral nervous system (PNS) communicates specifically with the immune

Evidence of Oligoclonal Bands Does Not Exclude Non-Inflammatory Neurological Diseases

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2020
Cerebrospinal fluid analysis is an essential part of the diagnostic workup in various neurological disorders. Evidence of an intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis, as demonstrated by Reiber’s diagram or the more sensitive oligoclonal bands (OCB), are ...

Neuron-fibrous scaffold interfaces in the peripheral nervous system: a perspective on the structural requirements

open access: yes, 2022
The nerves of the peripheral nervous system are not able to effectively regenerate in cases of severe neural injury. This can result in debilitating consequences, including morbidity and lifelong impairments affecting the quality of the patient's life ...

Characterizing white matter hyperintensities in myotonic dystrophy type 1 through IVIM derived metrics

open access: yesScientific Reports
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a genetic disease which affects multiple systems including the central nervous system. One of its key neuroimaging biomarkers are white matter hyperintensities (WMHs). The clinical relevance of WMHs remains unclear, and

Neurological complications in systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis

open access: yesAktualności Neurologiczne, 2018
Rheumatic diseases are characterised by damage to connective tissue, which is most frequently autoimmune in nature. The inflammation resulting from auto-aggression involves various organs and the heterogenous clinical symptoms depend on the intensity of ...
