Expression Profiling Analysis Reveals Key MicroRNA– mRNA Interactions in Early Retinal Degeneration in Retinitis Pigmentosa
(Association Research Vision Ophthalmology, 2018-05)
PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) that might play an important role in the etiology of retinal degeneration in a genetic mouse model of retinitis pigmentosa (rd10 ...
Dbx1-Derived Pyramidal Neurons Are Generated Locally in the Developing Murine Neocortex
(Frontiers Media, 2018-10-31)
The neocortex (NCx) generates at the dorsal region of the pallium in the forebrain. Several adjacent structures also contribute with neurons to NCx. Ventral pallium (VP) is considered to generate several populations of ...
Development and Maintenance of the Brain’s Immune Toolkit: Microglia and Non-Parenchymal Brain Macrophages
(Wiley, 2018-06)
Microglia and non-parenchymal macrophages located in the perivascular space, the meninges and the choroid plexus are independent immune populations that play vital roles in brain development, homeostasis, and tissue healing. ...
iPS Cell Cultures from a Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker Patient with the Y218N PRNP Mutation Recapitulate tau Pathology
(Humana Press, 2018-04)
Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker (GSS) syndrome is a fatal autosomal dominant neurodegenerative prionopathy clinically characterized by ataxia, spastic paraparesis, extrapyramidal signs and dementia. In some GSS familiar ...
A new approach based on targeted pooled DNA sequencing identifies novel mutations in patients with Inherited Retinal Dystrophies
(Nature Publishing, 2018-09-18)
Inherited retinal diseases (IRD) are a heterogeneous group of diseases that mainly affect the retina; more than 250 genes have been linked to the disease and more than 20 different clinical phenotypes have been described. ...
Acetylome in Human Fibroblasts From Parkinson's Disease Patients
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018-04-17)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is amultifactorial neurodegenerative disorder. The pathogenesis of this disease is associated with gene and environmental factors. Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are the most ...
Differences in the Use and Opinions About New eHealth Technologies Among Patients With Psychosis: Structured Questionnaire
(JMIR Publications, 2018-07-25)
Background: Despite a growing interest in the use of technology in order to support the treatment of psychotic disorders, limited knowledge exists about the viability and acceptability of these eHealth interventions in ...
Can an Experimental White Noise Task Assess Psychosis Vulnerability in Adult Healthy Controls?
(Public Library Science, 2018-02-15)
Background
This is an extension of a paper published earlier. We investigated the association between the tendency to detect speech illusion in random noise and levels of positive schizotypy in a sample of 185 adult ...
Internet use by older adults with bipolar disorder: international survey results
(Springer, 2018-09-04)
Background: The world population is aging and the number of older adults with bipolar disorder is increasing. Digital technologies are viewed as a framework to improve care of older adults with bipolar disorder. This ...
Association of Notch-1, osteopontin and stem-like cells in ENU-glioma malignant process
(Impact Journals LLC, 2018-07-31)
Notch-1 and osteopontin (OPN) mediate angiogenesis and glioma stem-like cell (GSLC) maintenance. However, the relationship between these molecules and GSLCs during the development of glioma is unknown. We investigate the ...
