Plaque-Associated Oligomeric Amyloid-Beta Drives Early Synaptotoxicity in APP/PS1 Mice Hippocampus: Ultrastructural Pathology Analysis
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by initial memory impairments that progress to dementia. In this sense, synaptic dysfunction and loss have been established as the pathological ...

HERC 1 Ubiquitin Ligase Mutation Affects Neocortical, CA3 Hippocampal and Spinal Cord Projection Neurons: An Ultrastructural Study
(Frontiers Media, 2016)
The spontaneous mutation tambaleante is caused by the Gly483Glu substitution in the highly conserved N terminal RCC1-like domain of the HERC1 protein, which leads to the increase of mutated protein levels responsible for ...

Galectin-3 shapes toxic alpha-synuclein strains in Parkinson's disease.
(Springer, 2023)
Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative and progressive disorder characterised by intracytoplasmic inclusions called Lewy bodies (LB) and degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN). Aggregated ...

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 ...

Galectin-3 is elevated in CSF and is associated with A beta deposits and tau aggregates in brain tissue in Alzheimer's disease
(Springer, 2022)
Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a beta-galactosidase binding protein involved in microglial activation in the central nervous system (CNS). We previously demonstrated the crucial deleterious role of Gal-3 in microglial activation ...

How the Local Geometry of the Cu-Binding Site Determines the Thermal Stability of Blue Copper Proteins
(Elsevier, 2011-01)
Identifying the factors that govern the thermal resistance of cupredoxins is essential for understanding their folding and stability, and for improving our ability to design highly stable enzymes with potential biotechnological ...

Microglial Caspase-3 is essential for modulating hippocampal neurogenesis.
(Elsevier, 2023)
Adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) is a process involved in numerous neurodegenerative diseases. Many researchers have described microglia as a key component in regulating the formation and migration of new neurons ...

Aβ oligomers trigger necroptosis-mediated neurodegeneration via microglia activation in Alzheimer’s disease
(BMC, 2022)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a major adult-onset neurodegenerative condition with no available treatment. Compelling reports point amyloid-β (Aβ) as the main etiologic agent that triggers AD. Although there is extensive ...
Artículo
ARG1-expressing microglia show a distinct molecular signature and modulate postnatal development and function of the mouse brain
(Nature Research, 2023)
Molecular diversity of microglia, the resident immune cells in the CNS, is reported. Whether microglial subsets characterized by the expression of specific proteins constitute subtypes with distinct functions has not been ...

Transgenic Mouse Models of Alzheimer’s Disease: An Integrative Analysis
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) constitutes the most prominent form of dementia among elderly individuals worldwide. Disease modeling using murine transgenic mice was first initiated thanks to the discovery of heritable mutations ...
