Brain atrophy measures in preclinical and manifest spinocerebellar ataxia type 2

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2018
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is an autosomal dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disease mainly affecting the cerebellum and brainstem. In this Cuban‐German research collaboration, we aimed to characterize atrophy patterns and associations ...

Preservation of Autophagy May Be a Mechanism Behind Healthy Aging

open access: yesAging Cell, EarlyView.
Using CD4+ T cells from pairs of young and old healthy human donors, we found that autophagy in the older donor cells did not decline with aging suggesting a compensatory enhanced autophagic efficiency of human CD4+ T cells with age, which may be an adaptive mechanism behind healthy aging.

Otoneurological Abnormalities in Patients with Friedreich's Ataxia

open access: yesInternational Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2017
Introduction Friedreich's ataxia is a neurodegenerative disease and progressive by nature. It has autosomal recessive inheritance and early onset in most cases.

Impact of PNKP mutations associated with microcephaly, seizures and developmental delay on enzyme activity and DNA strand break repair [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Microcephaly with early-onset, intractable seizures and developmental delay (MCSZ) is a hereditary disease caused by mutations in polynucleotide kinase/phosphatase (PNKP), a DNA strand break repair protein with DNA 5'-kinase and DNA 3'-phosphatase ...

Clinical, genetic and neuropathological characterization of spinocerebellar ataxia type 37

open access: yesBrain : a journal of neurology, 2018
The autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) consist of a highly heterogeneous group of rare movement disorders characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia variably associated with ophthalmoplegia, pyramidal and extrapyramidal signs, dementia,

Troriluzole attenuates opioid intake, reinforcing efficacy, seeking behaviours, physical dependence and antinociceptive tolerance in rats

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Riluzole, approved for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), has a glutamate‐modulating profile favourable for mitigating opioid addiction. It reduces neuronal glutamate release and enhances glutamate reuptake, offering advantages over agents that only increase glutamate reuptake.

Neurological diagnoses in children potentially fulfilling the criteria for developmental coordination disorder

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
In children potentially fulfilling the criteria for developmental coordination disorder (DCD), phenotypical assessment does not sufficiently predict the diagnostic outcome (i.e. DCD or an alternative diagnosis). Due to the lack of distinguishing clinical and diagnostic features and the high prevalence of genetic diagnoses in these patients, additional ...

Treatment of Spinocerebellar Ataxia with Mesenchymal Stem Cells: A Phase I/IIa Clinical Study

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2017
Ataxia is one of the most devastating symptoms of many neurodegenerative disorders. As of today, there is not any effective treatment to retard its progression. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown promise in treating neurodegenerative diseases.
