Calcium Mechanisms in Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy with CAPN3 Mutations
(MDPI, 2019-09-02)
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy recessive 1 (LGMDR1), previously known as LGMD2A, is a rare disease caused by mutations in the CAPN3 gene. It is characterized by progressive weakness of shoulder, pelvic, and proximal limb ...
Mediating role of cognition and social cognition on creativity among patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls: Revisiting the Shared Vulnerability Model
(Wiley, 2019-12)
Aim As suggested by the Shared Vulnerability Model, impairment in executive functions could lead to worse creative performance among individuals with schizophrenia. Another impaired function in schizophrenia, previously ...
Reactive Disruption of the Hippocampal Neurogenic Niche After Induction of Seizures by Injection of Kainic Acid in the Amygdala
(Frontiers Media, 2019-08-20)
Adult neurogenesis persists in the adult hippocampus due to the presence of multipotent neural stem cells (NSCs). Hippocampal neurogenesis is involved in a range of cognitive functions and is tightly regulated by neuronal ...
Genome-wide association analysis of dementia and its clinical endophenotypes reveal novel loci associated with Alzheimer's disease and three causality networks: The GR@ACE project
(Elsevier Science INC, 2019-10)
Introduction: Large variability among Alzheimer's disease (AD) cases might impact genetic discoveries and complicate dissection of underlying biological pathways.
Methods: Genome Research at Fundacio ACE (GR@ACE) is a ...
Effects of acute and chronic restraint stress during adolescence on endocannabinoid-mediated synaptic plasticity in the mouse hippocampal dentate gyrus.
(2019-06-28)
Our society lives embedded in stress. This causes numerous environmental factors that precipitate and exacerbate psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety and depression. In all organisms, stress is recognized as an adaptive ...
Endocannabinoid long-term depression revealed at medial perforant path excitatory synapses in the dentate gyrus
(Elsevier, 2019-04-22)
The endocannabinoid system modulates synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus, but a link between long-term synaptic plasticity and the type 1 cannabinoid (CB1) receptor at medial perforant path (MPP) synapses remains elusive. ...
Purinergic P2X4 receptors modulate neuroinflammation and repair in experimental multiple sclerosis
(2019-02-25)
La microglía examina el microambiente del sistema nervioso central para detectar señales de lesión o infección, y es esencial para el inicio y resolución de la inflamación inducida por patógenos o daño en los tejidos. ...
Leukocyte telomere length in patients with myotonic dystrophy type I: a pilot study
(Wiley, 2019-12)
Myotonic dystrophy type I (DM1) is an autosomal dominant disease of which clinical manifestations resemble premature aging. We evaluated the contribution of telomere length in pathogenesis in 361 DM1 patients (12 with ...
Microglial phagocytosis: unraveling the role of GPR34-LYSOPS signaling and phagocytic microglia on metabolism and neurogenesis
(2019-06-20)
Las células de microglía constituyen los fagocitos residentes del cerebro. Una de las principales funciones de las células de microglía consiste en la fagocitosis de células apoptóticas. La fagocitosis depende de diversos ...
Parafoveal thinning of inner retina is associated with visual dysfunction in Lewy body diseases
(Wiley, 2019-05-28)
Background Retinal optical coherence tomography findings in Lewy body diseases and their implications for visual outcomes remain controversial. We investigated whether region-specific thickness analysis of retinal layers ...
