Humoral Immunity Links Candida albicans Infection and Celiac Disease
(Public Library of Science, 2015-03-20)
Objective
The protein Hwp1, expressed on the pathogenic phase of Candida albicans, presents sequence analogy with the gluten protein gliadin and is also a substrate for transglutaminase. This had led to the suggestion ...
Synaptic plasticity and spatial working memory are impaired in the CD mouse model of Williams-Beuren syndrome
(null, 2016)
Mice heterozygous for a complete deletion (CD) equivalent to the most common deletion found in individuals with Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) recapitulate relevant features of the neurocognitive phenotype, such as ...
Organotypic Cultures as a Model to Study Adult Neurogenesis in CNS Disorders
(null, 2016)
Neural regeneration resides in certain specific regions of adult CNS. Adult neurogenesis occurs throughout life, especially from the subgranular zone of hippocampus and the subventricular zone, and can be modulated in ...
