Targeting the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System in Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy With CAPN3 Mutations
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
[EN] LGMDR1 is caused by mutations in the CAPN3 gene that encodes calpain 3 (CAPN3), a non-lysosomal cysteine protease necessary for proper muscle function. Our previous findings show that CAPN3 deficiency leads to reduced ...
The Effect of 5-HT1A Receptor Agonists on the Entopeduncular Nucleus is Modified in 6-Hydroxydopamine-Lesioned Rats
(Wiley, 2021-06)
Background and Purpose l-DOPA prolonged treatment leads to disabling motor complications as dyskinesia that could be decreased by drugs acting on 5-HT1A receptors. Since the internal segment of the globus pallidus, homologous ...
Dopaminergic Denervation Impairs Cortical Motor and Associative/Limbic Information Processing Through the Basal Ganglia and its Modulation by the CB1 Receptor
(Academic Press, 2021-01)
The basal ganglia (BG) are involved in cognitive/motivational functions in addition to movement control. Thus, BG segregated circuits, the sensorimotor (SM) and medial prefrontal (mPF) circuits, process different functional ...
A Genotyping Method Combining Primer Competition PCR with HRM Analysis to Identify Point Mutations in Duchenne Animal Models
(Nature, 2020-10-14)
Dystrophin-null sapje zebrafish is an excellent model for better understanding the pathological mechanisms underlying Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and it has recently arisen as a powerful tool for high-throughput screening ...
Cannabis use and involuntary admission may mediate long-term adherence in first-episode psychosis patients: a prospective longitudinal study

The objective of this study is to investigate cognitive performance in a first-episode psychosis sample, when stratifying the interaction by cannabis use and familial or non-familial psychosis. Hierarchical-regression ...
Plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels, learning capacity and cognition in patients with first episode psychosis
(BioMed Central, 2013)
Background: Cognitive impairments are seen in first psychotic episode (FEP) patients. The neurobiological underpinnings that might underlie these changes remain unknown. The aim of this study is to investigate whether
Brain ...
Integrated treatment of first episode psychosis with online training (e-learning): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
(Biomed Central, 2014-10-27)
Background: The integrated treatment of first episode psychosis has been shown to improve functionality and negative symptoms in previous studies. In this paper, we describe a study of integrated treatment (individual ...
