Metabolic polygenic risk scores effect on antipsychotic-induced metabolic dysregulation: A longitudinal study in a first episode psychosis cohort
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
[EN] Objective: Metabolic syndrome is a health-threatening condition suffered by approximately one third of schizophrenia patients and largely attributed to antipsychotic medication. Previous evidence reports a common ...
Polygenic contribution to the relationship of loneliness and social isolation with schizophrenia
(Nature Research, 2022-01-10)
[EN] Previous research suggests an association of loneliness and social isolation (LNL-ISO) with schizophrenia. Here, we demonstrate a LNL-ISO polygenic score contribution to schizophrenia risk in an independent case-control ...
COVID-19 pandemic effects on health worker’s mental health: Systematic review and meta-analysis
(Cambridge University Press, 2022)
[EN] Background Healthcare workers (HCWs) exposed to coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) are at high risk of developing mental health concerns across several domains. The aim of this study is to determine the updated, global frequency ...
Cortical thinning over two years after first-episode psychosis depends on age of onset.
(Nature Portfolio, 2022-03-11)
[EN] First-episode psychosis (FEP) patients show structural brain abnormalities at the first episode. Whether the cortical changes that follow a FEP are progressive and whether age at onset modulates these changes remains ...
Microglia: Development of a human in vitro model, analysis of motility and effects of phagocytosis in the hippocampal neurogenic niche
(2022-10-26)
This PhD Thesis discusses several topics related to microglia, the resident macrophages of the brain parenchyma. They are derived from yolk sack primitive macrophages that colonize the brain early during embryonic development. ...
Heart-brain synchronization breakdown in Parkinson's disease
(Nature, 2022-05)
Heart rate variability (HRV) abnormalities are potential early biomarkers in Parkinson's disease (PD) but their relationship with central autonomic network (CAN) activity is not fully understood. We analyzed the synchronization ...
Cannabinoid CB1 receptor gene inactivation in oligodendrocyte precursors disrupts oligodendrogenesis and myelination in mice
(SpringerNature, 2022)
[EN] Cannabinoids are known to modulate oligodendrogenesis and developmental CNS myelination. However, the cell-autonomous action of these compounds on oligodendroglial cells in vivo, and the molecular mechanisms underlying ...
Linking Plasma Amyloid Beta and Neurofilament Light Chain to Intracortical Myelin Content in Cognitively Normal Older Adults
(Frontiers Media, 2022-06)
Evidence suggests that lightly myelinated cortical regions are vulnerable to aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, it remains unknown whether plasma markers of amyloid and neurodegeneration are related to deficits ...
New, Fully Implantable Device for Selective Clearance of CSF-Target Molecules: Proof of Concept in a Murine Model of Alzheimer’s Disease
(MDPI, 2022-08-17)
[EN] We have previously proposed a radical change in the current strategy to clear pathogenic proteins from the central nervous system (CNS) based on the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-sink therapeutic strategy, whereby pathogenic ...
Amyloid β / PKC-dependent alterations in NMDA receptor composition are detected in early stages of Alzheimer´s disease
(SpringerNature, 2022-03-19)
[EN] Amyloid beta (Abeta)-mediated synapse dysfunction is an early event in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis and previous studies suggest that NMDA receptor (NMDAR) dysregulation may contribute to these pathological ...
