Small fiber neuropathy and phosphorylated alpha-synuclein in the skin of E46K- SNCA mutation carriers
(Elsevier, 2019-06-05)
Background and objective: In 2004 we described the E46K mutation in alpha-synuclein gene (E46K-SNCA), a rare point mutation causing an aggressive Lewy body disease with early prominent non-motor features and small fiber ...
Omega-3 Recovers Cannabinoid 1 Receptor Expression in the Adult Mouse Brain after Adolescent Binge Drinking
(MDPI, 2023-12-10)
Adolescent binge drinking is a social problem with a long-lasting impact on cognitive functions. The cannabinoid type-1 (CB1) receptor of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) is involved in brain synaptic plasticity, cognition ...
A functional variant that affects exon-skipping and protein expression of SP140 as genetic mechanism predisposing to multiple sclerosis
(Oxford University Pres, 2015-10-01)
Several variants in strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) at the SP140 locus have been associated with multiple sclerosis (MS), Crohn's disease (CD) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). To determine the causal polymorphism, ...
Blood miRNA expression pattern is a possible risk marker for natalizumab-associated progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in multiple sclerosis patients
(Sage, 2014-05-22)
Background: Natalizumab has shown its efficacy in reducing multiple sclerosis (MS) relapses and progression of disability; however, it has been associated with an increased risk of developing progressive multifocal ...
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 ...
Autonomic dysfunction is associated with neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric impairment in patients with Lewy body diseases
(Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, 2020-03-13)
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the association of autonomic dysfunction with cognition, depression, apathy, and fatigue in Lewy body disease (LBD).
Methods: We included 61 patients [49 with idiopathic Parkinson’s ...
Effects of adult enriched environment on cognition, hippocampal- prefrontal plasticity and NMDAR subunit expression in MK-801- induced schizophrenia model
(Elsevier, 2019-05-01)
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by psychosis, negative symptoms and cognitive impairment. Cognitive deficits are enduring and represent the most disabling symptom but are currently poorly treated. N-methyl ...
Cellular neurochemical characterization and subcellular localization of Phospholipase C-β1 in rat brain
(Elsevier, 2012-10-11)
The present study describes a complete and detailed neuroanatomical distribution map of the phospholipase C beta1 (PLCβ1) isoform along the adult rat neuraxis, and defines the phenotype of cells expressing PLCβ1, along ...
Up-regulation of CB1 Cannabinoid Receptors Located at Glutamatergic Terminals in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex of the Obese Zucker Rat.
(Frontiers Media, 2022-10-18)
The present study describes a detailed neuroanatomical distribution map of the cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptor, along with the biochemical characterization of the expression and functional coupling to their cognate G i/o ...
Microglial immune response is impaired against the neurotropic fungus Lomentospora prolificans
(Wiley, 2018-03-26)
Lomentospora (Scedosporium) prolificans is an opportunistic pathogen capable of causing invasive infections in immunocompromised patients. The fungus is able to disseminate via the bloodstream finally arriving at the central ...
