Epitope mapping of antibodies to alpha-synuclein in LRRK2 mutation carriers, idiopathic Parkinson disease patients, and healthy controls
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-07-15)
Alpha-synuclein (Snca) plays a major role in Parkinson disease (PD). Circulating anti-Snca antibodies has been described in PD patients and healthy controls, but they have been poorly characterized. This study was designed ...
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, ...

(2017-07-10)
The FRED game is a technological solution designed as a type of exergame for improvement in frailty in elderly persons, in which the physiotherapist, designed the contents of the game while at the same time taking into ...
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 ...
Astrocytes in Alzheimer’s Disease: Pathological Significance and Molecular Pathways
(MDPI, 2021-03-04)
Astrocytes perform a wide variety of essential functions defining normal operation of the nervous system and are active contributors to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s among others. ...
RNA Localization and Local Translation in Glia in Neurological and Neurodegenerative Diseases: Lessons from Neurons
(MDPI, 2021-03-12)
Cell polarity is crucial for almost every cell in our body to establish distinct structural and functional domains. Polarized cells have an asymmetrical morphology and therefore their proteins need to be asymmetrically ...
Neuropathological Characterization of a Dravet Syndrome Knock-In Mouse Model Useful for Investigating Cannabinoid Treatments
(Frontiers Media, 2021-01-29)
Dravet syndrome (DS) is an epileptic syndrome caused by mutations in the Scn1a gene encoding the alpha 1 subunit of the sodium channel Nav1.1, which is associated with febrile seizures that progress to severe tonic-clonic ...
Hippocampal Neural Stem Cells: from origin to disease. Postnaltal and on-site generation of adult hippocampal neural stem cells and blocking of the epidermal growth factor receptor to preserve neuroge
(2020-12-15)
En la presente tesis se han analizado por un lado el desarrollo, formación y establecimiento de las células madre neurales adultas del hipocampo en la zona subgranular del giro dentado, y por otro la respuesta de ésta ...
