Brca1 is expressed in human microglia and is dysregulated in human and animal model of ALS
(Biomed Central, 2015-08-01)
Background: There is growing evidence that microglia are key players in the pathological process of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It is suggested that microglia have a dual role in motoneurone degeneration through ...
From the Cajal alumni Achucarro and Rio-Hortega to the rediscovery of never-resting microglia
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015-04-14)
Under the guidance of Ramon y Cajal, a plethora of students flourished and began to apply his silver impregnation methods to study brain cells other than neurons: the neuroglia. In the first decades of the twentieth century, ...
Metabolic Alterations in Plasma from Patients with Familial and Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease
(Impact Journals LLC, 2020-09-15)
The research of new biomarkers for Parkinson's disease is essential for accurate and precocious diagnosis, as well as for the discovery of new potential disease mechanisms and drug targets. The main objective of this work ...
Essential Omega-3 Fatty Acids Tune Microglial Phagocytosis of Synaptic Elements in the Mouse Developing Brain
(Nature, 2020-11-30)
Omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) are essential for the functional maturation of the brain. Westernization of dietary habits in both developed and developing countries is accompanied by a progressive reduction in dietary ...
Dermic-derived fibroblasts for the study of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(Wolters Kluwer - Medknow, 2020-11)
Percepciones y vivencias de escolares de 7 a 8 años del País Vasco durante la alerta sanitaria COVID-19
(2020-01)
Objective: To explore the experiences of schoolchildren in an exceptional health alert situation in which strict confinement measures have been applied to the population.Method: Qualitative exploratory study through the ...
Variations of telencephalic development that paved the way for neocortical evolution
(Elsevier, 2020-11)
Charles Darwin stated, "community in embryonic structure reveals community of descent". Thus, to understand how the neocortex emerged during mammalian evolution we need to understand the evolution of the development of the ...
A deep intronic splice variant advises reexamination of presumably dominant SPG7 Cases
(Wiley, 2020-01)
Objective To identify causative mutations in a patient affected by ataxia and spastic paraplegia. Methods Whole-exome sequencing (WES) and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) were performed using patient's DNA sample. RT-PCR and ...
Alterations of the Hippocampal Neurogenic Niche in a Mouse Model of Dravet Syndrome
(Frontiers Media, 2020-07-21)
Hippocampal neurogenesis, the process by which neural stem cells (NSCs) continuously generate new neurons in the dentate gyrus (DG) of most mammals including humans, is chiefly regulated by neuronal activity. Thus, severe ...
Never-resting microglia: physiological roles in the healthy brain and pathological implications
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-08-15)
Microglia are largely known as the major orchestrators of the brain inflammatory response. As such, they have been traditionally studied in various contexts of disease, where their activation has been assumed to induce a ...
