Abstract Background Chronic Unpredictable Stress (CUS) is a widely used model to induce cognitive impairments and neurodegeneration through the activation of the kynurenine (KYN) pathway. Long‐term stress causes the production of more cortisol, which activates microglia and raises quinolinic acid (QA).

Relation of the kynurenine pathway with cognitive functioning and differences in patients with cognitive impairment or dementia: a systematic review and meta‐analysis [PDF]
Abstract Background The kynurenine pathway (KP) is associated with pathophysiological processes underlying dementia, but results from clinical studies are contradictory. Therefore, this systematic review and meta‐analysis summarized the available evidence for differences in KP metabolites in patients with cognitive impairment compared to cognitively ...

Can manipulation of differentiation conditions eliminate proliferative cells from a population of ES cell-derived forebrain cells? [PDF]
There is preliminary evidence that implantation of primary fetal striatal cells provides functional benefit in patients with Huntington’s disease, a neurodegenerative condition resulting in loss of medium-sized spiny neurons (MSN) of the striatum ...

Genetically engineered mesenchymal stem cells as a proposed therapeutic for Huntington's disease. [PDF]
There is much interest in the use of mesenchymal stem cells/marrow stromal cells (MSC) to treat neurodegenerative disorders, in particular those that are fatal and difficult to treat, such as Huntington's disease.

Narcolepsy: autoimmunity, effector T cell activation due to infection, or T cell independent, major histocompatibility complex class II induced neuronal loss? [PDF]
Human narcolepsy with cataplexy is a neurological disorder, which develops due to a deficiency in hypocretin producing neurons in the hypothalamus. There is a strong association with human leucocyte antigens HLA-DR2 and HLA-DQB1*0602.
