As populations increase their life expectancy, age-related neurodegenerative
disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease have become more common. I2-Imidazoline
receptors (I2-IR) are widely distributed in the central nervous system, and
dysregulation of I2-IR in patients with neurodegenerative diseases has been
reported, suggesting their implication in cognitive impairment. This evidence
indicates that ... hiện toàn bộ
Issues in the Treatment of Neurological Conditions Caused by Reactivation of Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV)Elsevier BV - Tập 13 - Trang 509-513 - 2016
Peter G. E. Kennedy
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a ubiquitous neurotropic human herpesvirus.
Primary infection usually causes varicella (chicken pox), after which virus
becomes latent in ganglia along the entire neuraxis. Decades later, virus
reactivates to produce herpes zoster (shingles), a painful dermatomally
distributed vesicular eruption. Zoster may be further complicated by
postherpetic neuralgia, VZV vascu... hiện toàn bộ
Pompe Disease: From Basic Science to TherapyElsevier BV - Tập 15 - Trang 928-942 - 2018
Lara Kohler, Rosa Puertollano, Nina Raben
Pompe disease is a rare and deadly muscle disorder. As a clinical entity, the
disease has been known for over 75 years. While an optimist might be excited
about the advances made during this time, a pessimist would note that we have
yet to find a cure. However, both sides would agree that many findings in basic
science—such as the Nobel prize-winning discoveries of glycogen metabolism, the
lysosom... hiện toàn bộ
Treating Traumatic Brain Injury with MinocyclineElsevier BV - Tập 20 - Trang 1546-1564 - 2023
Peter J. Bergold, Rachel Furhang, Siobhán Lawless
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) results in both rapid and delayed brain damage. The
speed, complexity, and persistence of TBI present large obstacles to drug
development. Preclinical studies from multiple laboratories have tested the
FDA-approved anti-microbial drug minocycline (MINO) to treat traumatic brain
injury. At concentrations greater than needed for anti-microbial action, MINO
readily inhibi... hiện toàn bộ
Dual HDAC/BRD4 Inhibitors Relieves Neuropathic Pain by Attenuating Inflammatory Response in Microglia After Spared Nerve InjuryElsevier BV - Tập 19 - Trang 1634-1648 - 2022
Vittoria Borgonetti, Elisabetta Meacci, Federica Pierucci, Maria Novella Romanelli, Nicoletta Galeotti
Despite the effort on developing new treatments, therapy for neuropathic pain is
still a clinical challenge and combination therapy regimes of two or more drugs
are often needed to improve efficacy. Accumulating evidence shows an altered
expression and activity of histone acetylation enzymes in chronic pain
conditions and restoration of these aberrant epigenetic modifications promotes
pain-relievi... hiện toàn bộ
The Use of Pharmacological Retromer Chaperones in Alzheimer’s Disease and other Endosomal-related DisordersElsevier BV - Tập 12 - Trang 12-18 - 2014
Diego E. Berman, Dagmar Ringe, Greg A. Petsko, Scott A. Small
The retromer is an evolutionary conserved multiprotein complex involved in the
sorting and retrograde trafficking of cargo from endosomal compartments to the
Golgi network and to the cell surface. The neuronal retromer traffics the
amyloid precursor protein away from the endosomes, a site where amyloid
precursor protein is enzymatically cleaved into pathogenic fragments in
Alzheimer’s disease. In ... hiện toàn bộ
Betulinic Acid Hydroxamate is Neuroprotective and Induces Protein Phosphatase 2A-Dependent HIF-1α Stabilization and Post-transcriptional Dephosphorylation of Prolyl Hydrolase 2Elsevier BV - Tập 18 - Trang 1849-1861 - 2021
María E. Prados, Alejandro Correa-Sáez, Juan D. Unciti-Broceta, Martín Garrido-Rodríguez, Carla Jimenez-Jimenez, Massimiliano Mazzone, Alberto Minassi, Giovanni Appendino, Marco A. Calzado, Eduardo Muñoz
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by
unwanted choreatic movements, behavioral and psychiatric disturbances, and
dementia. The activation of the hypoxic response pathway through the
pharmacological inhibition of hypoxia-inducing factor (HIF) prolyl-hydroxylases
(PHDs) is a promising approach for neurodegenerative diseases, including HD.
Herein, we have studied ... hiện toàn bộ
Targeting Mitochondrial Function for the Treatment of Acute Spinal Cord InjuryElsevier BV - Tập 8 - Trang 168-179 - 2011
Melanie L. McEwen, Patrick G. Sullivan, Alexander G. Rabchevsky, Joe E. Springer
Traumatic injury to the mammalian spinal cord is a highly dynamic process
characterized by a complex pattern of pervasive and destructive biochemical and
pathophysiological events that limit the potential for functional recovery.
Currently, there are no effective therapies for the treatment of spinal cord
injury (SCI) and this is due, in part, to the widespread impact of the secondary
injury casca... hiện toàn bộ
