Subclinical Depressive Symptoms and Continued Cannabis Use: Predictors of Negative Outcomes in First Episode Psychosis
(Public Library Science, 2015-04-15)
Background
Although depressive symptoms in first episode psychosis have been associated with cannabis abuse, their influence on the long-term functional course of FEP patients who abuse cannabis is unknown. The aims of ...
The role of purinergic receptor A1 in neurogenesis modulation from subventricular zone
(2016-06-16)
La neurogénesis continúa en la edad adulta en regiones específicas del cerebro como la zona subgranular del hipocampo y la zona subventricular (SVZ) de los ventrículos laterales. Resultados previos de nuestro laboratorio ...
Oligodendrocyte differentiation from adult multipotent stem cells is modulated by glutamate
(Nature Publishing Group, 2012-02)
We used multipotent stem cells (MSCs) derived from the young rat subventricular zone (SVZ) to study the effects of glutamate in oligodendrocyte maturation. Glutamate stimulated oligodendrocyte differentiation from SVZ-derived ...
NMDA modulates oligodendrocyte differentiation of subventricular zone cells through PKC activation
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2013-12-18)
Multipotent cells from the juvenile subventricular zone (SVZ) possess the ability to differentiate into new neural cells. Depending on local signals, SVZ can generate new neurons, astrocytes, or oligodendrocytes. We ...
GABA release by hippocampal astrocytes
(Frontiers Res Found, 2012-08-17)
Astrocytes can directly influence neuronal activity through the release of various transmitters acting on membrane receptors expressed by neurons. However, in contrast to glutamate and ATP for instance, the release of GABA ...
A novel form of human disease with a protease-sensitive prion protein and heterozygosity methionine/valine at codon 129: Case report
(BioMed Central, 2010-10)
Background: Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder in humans included in the group of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies or prion diseases. The vast majority of sCJD cases are ...
Role of Monoubiquitylation on the Control of IκBα Degradation and NF-κB Activity
(Public Library of Science, 2011-10-12)
The NF-κB pathway is regulated by multiple post-translational modifications including phosphorylation, ubiquitylation and SUMOylation. Many of these modifications act on the natural inhibitor IκBα modulating its capacity ...
FTY720 attenuates excitotoxicity and neuroinflammation
(BioMed Central, 2015-05-08)
Background: FTY720 (fingolimod, Gilenya(TM)), a structural analog of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), is the first oral drug approved for treatment the relapsing-remitting form of multiple sclerosis (MS), and its efficacy ...
Early Medial Temporal Atrophy Scale (EMTA)
(2015-12-30)
[ES]La atrofia del lóbulo temporal medial puede ser medida a través del uso de escalas de atrofia visual tales como la escala de atrofia del lóbulo temporal medial (MTA). La escala MTA ha sido diseñada y validada para el ...
Mechanisms of action of Methylthioadenosine: pathways implicated in neuroprotection in models of Multiple Sclerosis and other neurological diseases
(BioMed Central, 2010-11-25)
Background
Methylthioadenosine (MTA) has anti-oxidant and anti-proliferative properties and was shown to induce cell protection in hepatic cells. We previously demonstrated that exert immunomodulatory and neuroprotective ...
