Brain dysmyelination and recovery assessment by noninvasive in vivo diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imagingJournal of Neuroscience Research - Tập 83 Số 3 - Trang 392-402 - 2006

AbstractDiffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT‐MRI) was applied for in
vivo quantification of myelin loss and regeneration. A transgenic mouse line
(Oligo‐TTK) expressing a truncated form of the herpes simplex virus 1 thymidine
kinase gene (hsv1‐tk) in oligodendrocytes was studied along with two induced
phenotypes of myelin pathology. Myelin loss and axonal abnormalities

p35/Cdk5 pathway mediates soluble amyloid‐β peptide‐induced tau phosphorylation in vitroJournal of Neuroscience Research - Tập 69 Số 3 - Trang 362-372 - 2002
Terrence Town, Joseph Zolton, Reed Shaffner, Billy Schnell, Robert M. Crescentini, Yajuan Wu, Jin Zeng, Anthony DelleDonne, Demian Obregon, Jun Tan, Michael Mullan
AbstractAlzheimer's disease (AD) is pathologically characterized by deposition
of amyloid‐β peptides (Aβ) as senile plaques and by the occurrence of
neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) composed primarily of hyperphosphorylated tau
protein. Activation of cyclin‐dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) via its potent activator
p25 has recently been shown to promote phosphorylation of tau at AD‐specific
phosphoepitopes,... hiện toàn bộ
The FE65 proteins and Alzheimer's diseaseJournal of Neuroscience Research - Tập 86 Số 4 - Trang 744-754 - 2008
Declan M. McLoughlin, Christopher Miller
AbstractThe FE65s (FE65, FE65L1, and FE65L2) are a family of multidomain adaptor
proteins that form multiprotein complexes with a range of functions. FE65 is
brain‐enriched, whereas FE65L1 and FE65L2 are more widely expressed. All three
members contain a WW domain and two PTB domains. Through the PTB2 domain, they
all interact with the Alzheimer's disease amyloid precursor protein (APP)

The interaction of circRNAs and RNA binding proteins: An important part of circRNA maintenance and functionJournal of Neuroscience Research - Tập 98 Số 1 - Trang 87-97 - 2020
Jiankun Zang, Dan Lu, Chunxue Wang
AbstractThe widespread expression of circular RNAs (circRNAs) is regarded as a
feature of gene expression in highly diverged eukaryotes. Recent studies have
shown that circRNAs can act as a miRNA sponge to repress miRNA function,
participate in splicing of target genes, translate genes into protein and
interact with RNA binding proteins (RBPs). RBPs are a broad class of proteins
involved in gene t... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of neurosphere size on the growth rate of human neural stem/progenitor cellsJournal of Neuroscience Research - Tập 84 Số 8 - Trang 1682-1691 - 2006

AbstractNeural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) proliferate as aggregates in vitro,
but the mechanism of aggregation is not fully understood. Here, we report that
aggregation promotes the proliferation of NSPCs. We found that the proliferation
rate was linear and depended on the size of the aggregate; that is, the
population doubling time of the NSPCs gradually decreased as the diameter
approached 25... hiện toàn bộ
Glass micro‐fibers: A model system for study of early events in myelinationJournal of Neuroscience Research - Tập 27 Số 3 - Trang 383-393 - 1990
P. N. Bullock, Leonard H. Rome
AbstractA system was developed to analyze early events in the process of
myelination. Primary cultures of rat oligodendrocytes were maintained in the
presence of glass micro‐fibers which served as artificial axons. A culture
chamber was constructed which allowed the close apposition of fibers and cells
in a three‐dimensional arrangement designed to resemble an in vivo environment.

Identification of living oligodendrocyte developmental stages by fractal analysis of cell morphologyJournal of Neuroscience Research - Tập 65 Số 5 - Trang 439-445 - 2001
Frédéric Bernard, Jean‐Louis Bossu, Stéphane Gaillard
AbstractThe Mandelbrot's fractal dimension (D), a measure of shape complexity,
has been used to quantify the complex morphology of living cells. Previous
studies on glial cells have shown that as cells increase in morphological
complexity, their “D” value increases, suggesting that “D” could be used to
estimate their stage of differentiation. In the present study the box‐counting
method was used t... hiện toàn bộ
The neuroprotective role of melatonin in neurological disordersJournal of Neuroscience Research - Tập 96 Số 7 - Trang 1136-1149 - 2018
Badrah S. Alghamdi
AbstractMelatonin is a neurohormone secreted from the pineal gland and has a
wide‐ranging regulatory and neuroprotective role. It has been reported that
melatonin level is disturbed in some neurological conditions such as stroke,
Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease, which indicates its involvement in
the pathophysiology of these diseases. Its properties qualify it to be a
promising potent... hiện toàn bộ
