Combining MRI and clinical data to detect high relapse risk after the first episode of psychosis.
(Nature, 2022)
Detecting patients at high relapse risk after the first episode of psychosis (HRR-FEP) could help the clinician adjust the preventive treatment. To develop a tool to detect patients at HRR using their baseline clinical and ...
Assessing Autophagy in Microglia: A Two-Step Model to Determine Autophagosome Formation, Degradation, and Net Turnover
(Frontiers Media, 2021-01-29)
Autophagy is a complex process that encompasses the enclosure of cytoplasmic debris or dysfunctional organelles in membranous vesicles, the autophagosomes, for their elimination in the lysosomes. Autophagy is increasingly ...
Differential Exposure to N-Ethyl N-Nitrosourea During Pregnancy is Relevant to the Induction of Glioma and PNSTs in the Brain
(Elsevier, 2021-05-26)
Exposure to N-nitroso compounds (NOCs) during pregnancy has been associated with an increase in brain tumors in the progeny. This study investigated the brain tumorigenic effect of N-ethyl N-nitrosourea (ENU) after ...
Recombinant Integrin β1 Signal Peptide Blocks Gliosis Induced by Aβ Oligomers
(MDPI, 2022-05-20)
Glial cells participate actively in the early cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology. In fact, recent studies have found molecular and functional abnormalities in astrocytes and microglia in both animal ...
Influence of clinical and neurocognitive factors in psychosocial functioning after a first episode non-affective psychosis: Differences between males and females
(Frontiers Media, 2022-10)
BackgroundDeficits in psychosocial functioning are present in the early stages of psychosis. Several factors, such as premorbid adjustment, neurocognitive performance, and cognitive reserve (CR), potentially influence ...
Microglial Phagocytosis Dysfunction in the Dentate Gyrus is Related to Local Neuronal Activity in a Genetic Model of Epilepsy
(Wiley, 2020-11)
Objective Microglial phagocytosis of apoptotic cells is an essential component of the brain regenerative response during neurodegeneration. Whereas it is very efficient in physiological conditions, it is impaired in mouse ...
Microglial Corpse Clearance: Lessons From Macrophages
(Frontiers Media, 2020-03-27)
From development to aging and disease, the brain parenchyma is under the constant threat of debris accumulation, in the form of dead cells and protein aggregates. To prevent garbage buildup, the brain is equipped with ...
A Clonal NG2-Glia Cell Response in a Mouse Model of Multiple Sclerosis
(MDPI, 2020-05-21)
NG2-glia, also known as oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), have the potential to generate new mature oligodendrocytes and thus, to contribute to tissue repair in demyelinating diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS). ...
Targeting the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System in Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy With CAPN3 Mutations
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
[EN] LGMDR1 is caused by mutations in the CAPN3 gene that encodes calpain 3 (CAPN3), a non-lysosomal cysteine protease necessary for proper muscle function. Our previous findings show that CAPN3 deficiency leads to reduced ...
The Effect of 5-HT1A Receptor Agonists on the Entopeduncular Nucleus is Modified in 6-Hydroxydopamine-Lesioned Rats
(Wiley, 2021-06)
Background and Purpose l-DOPA prolonged treatment leads to disabling motor complications as dyskinesia that could be decreased by drugs acting on 5-HT1A receptors. Since the internal segment of the globus pallidus, homologous ...
