Dysfunction of the unfolded protein response increases neurodegeneration in aged rat hippocampus following proteasome inhibition
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2009)
Dysfunctions of the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) have been proposed to be involved in the aetiology and/or progression of several age-related neurodegenerative disorders. However, the mechanisms linking proteasome ...
Article
Early-life stress elicits peripheral and brain immune activation differently in wild type and 5xFAD mice in a sex-specific manner
(BMC, 2022)
Background The risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is modulated by genetic and environmental factors. Early-life stress (ELS) exposure during critical periods of brain development can impact later brain function ...
Article
Targeting galectin-3 to counteract spike-phase uncoupling of fast-spiking interneurons to gamma oscillations in Alzheimer’s disease
(2023)
Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive multifaceted neurodegenerative disorder for which no disease-modifying treatment exists. Neuroinflammation is central to the pathology progression, with evidence ...
Article
APOE in the bullseye of neurodegenerative diseases: impact of the APOE genotype in Alzheimer’s disease pathology and brain diseases
(Springer Nature, 2022)
ApoE is the major lipid and cholesterol carrier in the CNS. There are three major human polymorphisms, apoE2, apoE3, and apoE4, and the genetic expression of APOE4 is one of the most influential risk factors for the ...
Article
Modulation of Beta-Amyloid-Activated Primary Human Neutrophils by Dietary Phenols from Virgin Olive Oil
(MDPI, 2023)
The defense mechanism against harmful stimuli is inflammation. Indeed, neurodegenerative disorders can arise as a result of a persistent neuroinflammation. Beta-amyloid (Aβ1-42) is an early trigger in the origination of ...

Inflammatory response in the hippocampus of PS1M146L/APP 751SL mouse model of Alzheimer's disease: Age-dependent switch in the microglial phenotype from alternative to classic
(Society for Neuroscience, 2008)
Although the microglial activation is concomitant to the Alzheimer's disease, its precise role (neuroprotection vs neurodegeneration) has not yet been resolved. Here, we show the existence of an age-dependent phenotypic ...
Article
LPS priming before plaque deposition impedes microglial activation and restrains Abeta pathology in the 5xFAD mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.
(Elsevier, 2023-10)
Microglia have an innate immunity memory (IIM) with divergent functions in different animal models of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). AD is characterized by chronic neuroinflammation, ...
Article
The role of Galectin-3 in α-synuclein-induced microglial activation
(BioMed Central, 2014)
Background: Parkinson ’ s disease (PD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative motor disorder. The neuropathology is characterized by intraneuronal protein aggregates of α -synuclein and progressive degeneration of ...
Article
Galectin-3 Deletion Reduces LPS and Acute Colitis-Induced Pro-Inflammatory Microglial Activation in the Ventral Mesencephalon
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Parkinson’s disease is a highly prevalent neurological disorder for which there is currently no cure. Therefore, the knowledge of risk factors as well as the development of new putative molecular targets is mandatory. In ...
Article
Neuroprotective effect of rice bran enzymatic extract-supplemented diets in a murine model of Parkinsońs disease
(Elsevier, 2024-05-03)
Neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease, present a global health concern with limited therapeutic options. In this context, dietary interventions have emerged as a potential strategy to counteract the ...
