Potential Tear Biomarkers for the Diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease—A Pilot Study
(MDPI, 2022-01-13)
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s disease. In this study, the tear proteome profile of patients with idiopathic PD (iPD, n = 24), carriers of the E46K-SNCA ...
Comparative lipidomic analysis of mammalian retinal ganglion cells and Muller glia in situ and in vitro using High-Resolution Imaging Mass Spectrometry
(Nature, 2020-11-18)
In order to better understand retinal physiology, alterations to which underlie some ocular diseases, we set out to establish the lipid signature of two fundamental cell types in the retina, Muller Glia and Retinal Ganglion ...
Comparative study of the lipid profile of tears and plasma enriched in growth factors.
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
[EN] The Tear Film Lipid Layer (TFLL) acts primarily as an interface between the aqueous layer and air. Tear film lipid is composed of a thin layer of polar lipids that interact with the secretory layer of the underlying ...
The Effect of Plasma Rich in Growth Factors on Microglial Migration, Macroglial Gliosis and Proliferation, and Neuronal Survival
(Frontiers Media, 2021-02-26)
Plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) is a subtype of platelet-rich plasma that has being employed in the clinic due to its capacity to accelerate tissue regeneration. Autologous PRGF has been used in ophthalmology to repair ...
Plasma Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF) Increases the Number of Retinal Muller Glia in Culture but Not the Survival of Retinal Neurons
(Frontiers Media, 2021-03-09)
Plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) is a subtype of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) that stimulates tissue regeneration and may promote neuronal survival. It has been employed in ophthalmology to achieve tissue repair in some ...
Testicular Germ Cell Tumours and Proprotein Convertases
(MDPI, 2022-03-23)
Testicular Germ Cell Tumours (TGCT) are widely considered a “curable cancer” due to their exceptionally high survival rate, even if it is reduced by many years after the diagnosis due to metastases and relapses. The most ...
Local renin angiotensin system and sperm DNA fragmentation.
(Wolters Kluwer, 2022)
[EN] The renin angiotensin system (RAS) appears to influence male fertility at multiple levels. In this work, we analyzed the relationship between the RAS and DNA integrity. Fifty male volunteers were divided into two ...
Differential Distribution of RBPMS in Pig, Rat, and Human Retina after Damage
(MDPI, 2020-12-07)
RNA binding protein with multiple splicing (RBPMS) is expressed exclusively in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the retina and can label all RGCs in normal retinas of mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, cats, and monkeys, ...
Associative Conditioning Is a Robust Systemic Behavior in Unicellular Organisms: An Interspecies Comparison
(Frontiers Media, 2021-07-19)
The capacity to learn new efficient systemic behavior is a fundamental issue of contemporary biology. We have recently observed, in a preliminary analysis, the emergence of conditioned behavior in some individual amoebae ...
The mito-QC Reporter for Quantitative Mitophagy Assessment in Primary Retinal Ganglion Cells and Experimental Glaucoma Models
(MDPI, 2020-03-10)
Mitochondrial damage plays a prominent role in glaucoma. The only way cells can degrade whole mitochondria is via autophagy, in a process called mitophagy. Thus, studying mitophagy in the context of glaucoma is essential ...
