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 ...

A high redox potential form of cytochrome c550 in photosystem II from Thermosynechococcus elongatus
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Inc., 2011)
Cytochrome c550 (cyt c550) is a component of photosystem II (PSII) from cyanobacteria, red algae, and some other eukaryotic algae. Its physiological role remains unclear. In the present work, measurements of the midpoint ...

Active zones and the readily releasable pool of synaptic vesicles at the neuromuscular junction of the mouse
(SOC NEUROSCIENCE, 2011-02-09)
Synchronous neurotransmitter releaseis a highly regulated processthattakes place at specializations atthe presynapticmembrane called active zones (AZs). The relationships between AZs, quantal release, and vesicle replenishment ...

Caspase signalling controls microglia activation and neurotoxicity
(Springer Nature, 2011-04-11)
Activation of microglia and inflammation-mediated neurotoxicity are suggested to play a decisive role in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative disorders. Activated microglia release pro-inflammatory factors that ...

Inflammatory animal model for parkinson’s disease: the intranigral injection of LPS induced the inflammatory process along with the selective degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons
(A. Conti and A. Lewen, 2011)
We have developed an animal model of degeneration of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons, the neuronal system involved in Parkinson’s disease (PD). The implication of neuroinflammat ion on this disease was originally ...

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 ...

Synaptic defects in spinal muscular atrophy animal models
(Wiley, 2011)
Proximal spinal muscular atrophy, the most frequent genetic cause of childhood lethality, is caused by homozygous loss or mutation of the SMN1 gene on human chromosome 5, which codes for the survival motor neuron (SMN) ...

Marine carotenoids: Biological functions and commercial applications
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2011)
Carotenoids are the most common pigments in nature and are synthesized by all photosynthetic organisms and fungi. Carotenoids are considered key molecules for life. Light capture, photosynthesis photoprotection, excess ...

Apoptosis-inducing factor mediates dopaminergic cell death in response to LPS-induced inflammatory stimulus: Evidence in Parkinson's disease patients
(Elsevier, 2011-01)
We show that intranigral lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection, which provokes specific degeneration of DA neurons, induced caspase-3 activation in the rat ventral mesencephalon, which was mostly associated with glial cells. ...
