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 ...
Enzyme Therapy: Current Challenges and Future Perspectives
(MDPI, 2021-08-25)
In recent years, enzymes have risen as promising therapeutic tools for different pathologies, from metabolic deficiencies, such as fibrosis conditions, ocular pathologies or joint problems, to cancer or cardiovascular ...
Elevation of Tear MMP-9 Concentration as a Biomarker of Inflammation in Ocular Pathology by Antibody Microarray Immunodetection Assays
(MDPI, 2022-05-18)
Matrix metalloproteinases are a family of enzymes fundamental in inflammatory processes. Between them, MMP-9 is up-regulated during inflammation; thus, its quantification in non-invasive fluids is a promising approach for ...
Characteristics of Whale Muller Glia in Primary and Immortalized Cultures
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
[EN] Muller cells are the principal glial cells in the retina and they assume many of the functions carried out by astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and ependymal cells in other regions of the central nervous system. Muller ...
Potential Tear Biomarkers for the Diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease—A Pilot Study
(MDPI, 2022-01-13)
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s disease. In this study, the tear proteome profile of patients with idiopathic PD (iPD, n = 24), carriers of the E46K-SNCA ...
Comparative lipidomic analysis of mammalian retinal ganglion cells and Muller glia in situ and in vitro using High-Resolution Imaging Mass Spectrometry
(Nature, 2020-11-18)
In order to better understand retinal physiology, alterations to which underlie some ocular diseases, we set out to establish the lipid signature of two fundamental cell types in the retina, Muller Glia and Retinal Ganglion ...
Comparative study of the lipid profile of tears and plasma enriched in growth factors.
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
[EN] The Tear Film Lipid Layer (TFLL) acts primarily as an interface between the aqueous layer and air. Tear film lipid is composed of a thin layer of polar lipids that interact with the secretory layer of the underlying ...
The Effect of Plasma Rich in Growth Factors on Microglial Migration, Macroglial Gliosis and Proliferation, and Neuronal Survival
(Frontiers Media, 2021-02-26)
Plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) is a subtype of platelet-rich plasma that has being employed in the clinic due to its capacity to accelerate tissue regeneration. Autologous PRGF has been used in ophthalmology to repair ...
Plasma Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF) Increases the Number of Retinal Muller Glia in Culture but Not the Survival of Retinal Neurons
(Frontiers Media, 2021-03-09)
Plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) is a subtype of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) that stimulates tissue regeneration and may promote neuronal survival. It has been employed in ophthalmology to achieve tissue repair in some ...
Differential Distribution of RBPMS in Pig, Rat, and Human Retina after Damage
(MDPI, 2020-12-07)
RNA binding protein with multiple splicing (RBPMS) is expressed exclusively in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the retina and can label all RGCs in normal retinas of mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, cats, and monkeys, ...
