Phenotypical and functional heterogeneity of neural stem cells in the aged hippocampus
(Wiley, 2019-08)
Adult neurogenesis persists in the hippocampus of most mammal species during postnatal and adult life, including humans, although it declines markedly with age. The mechanisms driving the age-dependent decline of hippocampal ...
A systematic review of sex-based differences in effectiveness and adverse effects of clozapine
(Elsevier, 2019-08-03)
Clozapine is one of the most widely used antipsychotics for treating psychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. This drug, however, is associated with adverse effects such as weight gain, metabolic ...
Cannabidiol Administration Prevents Hypoxia-Ischemia-Induced Hypomyelination in Newborn Rats
(Frontiers Media, 2019-09-26)
Neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI) is a risk factor for myelination disturbances, a key factor for cerebral palsy. Cannabidiol (CBD) protects neurons and glial cells after HI insult in newborn animals. We hereby aimed to study ...
Gut microbiome and serum metabolome analyses identify molecular biomarkers and altered glutamate metabolism in fibromyalgia
(Elsevier, 2019-08)
Background: Fibromyalgia is a complex, relatively unknown disease characterised by chronic, widespread musculoskeletal pain. The gut-brain axis connects the gut microbiome with the brain through the enteric nervous system ...
Isolation and characterization of myogenic precursor cells from human cremaster muscle
(Nature Publishing, 2019-03-05)
Human myogenic precursor cells have been isolated and expanded from a number of skeletal muscles, but alternative donor biopsy sites must be sought after in diseases where muscle damage is widespread. Biopsy sites must be ...
Characterizing the role of integrin beta1 in early synaptic changes and gliosis triggered by amyloid beta oligomers: implications for Alzheimers’ disease progression.
(2019-02-01)
La enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA) es la forma más prevalente de demencia, y se caracteriza por ser una enfermedad neurodegenerativa con daños sinápticos que se correlacionan con una pérdida cognitiva. Los oligómeros de beta ...
Role of GABAergic signaling in oligodendroglial differentiation, myelination and remyelination after demyelinating lesions.
(2019-11-12)
Esta tesis doctoral ha consistido en el estudio de la implicación de la señalización GABAérgica en el proceso de diferenciación de las células oligodendrogliales, así como en la mielinización y en la remielinización que ...
A beta oligomers promote oligodendrocyte differentiation and maturation via integrin beta 1 and Fyn kinase signaling
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-06-06)
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by a progressive cognitive decline that correlates with the levels of amyloid beta-peptide (A beta) oligomers. Strong evidences connect changes of oligodendrocyte function with the ...
The nucleus does not significantly affect the migratory trajectories of amoeba in two-dimensional environments
(Springer Nature, 2019-11-08)
For a wide range of cells, from bacteria to mammals, locomotion movements are a crucial systemic behavior for cellular life. Despite its importance in a plethora of fundamental physiological processes and human pathologies, ...
Evidence of conditioned behavior in amoebae
(Nature, 2019-08-15)
Associative memory is the main type of learning by which complex organisms endowed with evolved nervous systems respond efficiently to certain environmental stimuli. It has been found in different multicellular species, ...
