P2X7 Receptors as a Therapeutic Target in Cerebrovascular Diseases
(Frontiers Media, 2020-06-18)
Shortage of oxygen and nutrients in the brain induces the release of glutamate and ATP that can cause excitotoxicity and contribute to neuronal and glial damage. Our understanding of the mechanisms of ATP release and ...
Gene Expression Analysis of Astrocyte and Microglia Endocannabinoid Signaling during Autoimmune Demyelination
(MDPI, 2020-08-24)
The endocannabinoid system is associated with protective effects in multiple sclerosis (MS) that involve attenuated innate immune cell responses. Astrocytes and microglia are modulated by endocannabinoids and participate ...
In vivo PET Imaging of Gliogenesis After Cerebral Ischemia in Rats
(Frontiers Media, 2020-07-30)
In vivopositron emission tomography of neuroinflammation has mainly focused on the evaluation of glial cell activation using radiolabeled ligands. However, the non-invasive imaging of neuroinflammatory cell proliferation ...
A Neuron, Microglia, and Astrocyte Triple Co-culture Model to Study Alzheimer’s Disease
(Frontiers Media, 2022-04-14)
Glial cells are essential to understand Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression, given their role in neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. There is a need for reliable and easy to manipulate models that allow studying the ...
A Multicentre, Randomised, Controlled Trial of a Combined Clinical Treatment for First-Episode Psychosis
(MDPI, 2021-07-06)
Introduction: There is evidence that early intervention contributes to improving the prognosis and course of first-episode psychosis (FEP). However, further randomised treatment clinical trials are needed. Objectives: The ...
CLR01 Protects Dopaminergic Neurons in Vitro and in Mouse Models of Parkinson's Disease
(Nature, 2020-09-28)
Parkinson's disease (PD) affects millions of patients worldwide and is characterized by alpha-synuclein aggregation in dopamine neurons. Molecular tweezers have shown high potential as anti-aggregation agents targeting ...
Delta(9)-Tetrahydrocannabinol promotes functional remyelination in the mouse brain
(Wiley, 2021-10)
Background and purpose Research on demyelinating disorders aims to find novel molecules that are able to induce oligodendrocyte precursor cell differentiation to promote central nervous system remyelination and functional ...
Fit-for-purpose based testing and validation of antibodies to amino- and carboxy-terminal domains of cannabinoid receptor 1
(Springer, 2021-11)
Specific and selective anti-CB1 antibodies are among the most powerful research tools to unravel the complex biological processes mediated by the CB1 receptor in both physiological and pathological conditions. However, low ...
A nonlinear meccano for Alzheimer's emergence by amyloid β-mediated glutamatergic hyperactivity
(Elsevier, 2024-05)
The pathophysiological process of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is believed to begin many years before the formal diagnosis of AD dementia. This protracted preclinical phase offers a crucial window for potential therapeutic ...
Assessment of the Correlation and Diagnostic Accuracy between Cerebrospinal Fluid and Plasma Alzheimer’s Disease Biomarkers: A Comparison of the Lumipulse and Simoa Platforms
(MDPI, 2024-04-23)
We compared the clinical and analytical performance of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) plasma biomarkers measured using the single-molecule array (Simoa) and Lumipulse platforms. We quantified the plasma levels of amyloid beta ...
