In vivo modification of Abeta plaque toxicity as a novel neuroprotective lithium-mediated therapy for Alzheimer’s disease pathology
(BioMed Central, 2013)
Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the abnormal accumulation of extracellular beta-amyloid (Abeta) plaques, intracellular hyperphosphorylated tau, progressive synaptic alterations, axonal dystrophies, ...

Regional difference in inflammatory response to LPS-injection in the brain: Role of microglia cell density
(Elsevier, 2011)
To elucidate whether density of cells could contribute to the extent of microglial activation, we performed in vitro assays using three different densities of N13 microglia stimulated with LPS. Our results showed that ...

Apolar carbohydrates as DNA capping agents
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2012)
Mono- and disaccharides have been shown to stack on top of DNA duplexes stabilizing sequences with terminal C–G base pairs. Here we present an apolar version of glucose and cellobiose as new capping agents that stack on ...

Dual roles of Aβ in proliferative processes in an amyloidogenic model of Alzheimer’s disease
(Nature Research (part of Springer Nature), 2017)
Alzheimer’s disease is a major neurodegenerative disorder that leads to severe cognitive deficits in the elderly population. Over the past two decades, multiple studies have focused on elucidating the causative factors ...

The carotid body, a neurogenic niche in the adult peripheral nervous system
(Univ pisa, 2010)
We have described a new population of adult neural stem cells residing in the carotid body, a chemoreceptor organ in the peripheral nervous system. These progenitor cells support neurogenesis in vivo in response to ...

Aberrant cortical associative plasticity associated with severe adult Tourette syndrome
(Wiley, 2015)
Background. Recent studies have shown altered cortical plasticity in adult patients with Tourette syndrome. However, the clinical significance of this finding remains elusive. Methods. Motor cortical plasticity was evaluated ...

Genetic Rescue of Mitochondrial and Skeletal Muscle Impairment in an Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Model of Coenzyme Q10 Deficiency
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-07)
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) plays a crucial role in mitochondria as an electron carrier within the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) and is an essential antioxidant. Mutations in genes responsible for CoQ10 biosynthesis (COQ ...

Abnormal accumulation of autophagic vesicles correlates with axonal and synaptic pathology in young Alzheimer’s mice hippocampus
(Springer, 2012)
Dystrophic neurites associated with amyloid plaques precede neuronal death and manifest early in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In this work we have characterized the plaque-associated neuritic pathology in the hippocampus ...

Commentary: Immunochemical Markers of the Amyloid Cascade in the Hippocampus in Motor Neuron Diseases
(Frontiers Media, 2017)
In case we needed reminding, age-related neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), and motor neurone disease (MND) have two factors in common: (i) advancing age as the single ...

Newborn Screening for Primary T- and B-Cell Immune Deficiencies—A Prospective Study in Andalucía
(MDPI, 2017)
Background: Quantification of T-cell-receptor-excision circles (TRECs) and kappa-deleting-recombination-excision circles (KRECs) from dried blood spots (DBS) allows detection of neonates with severe T-cell and/or B-cell ...
