Arginine deprivation alters microglial polarity and synergizes with radiation to eradicate non-arginine-auxotrophic glioblastoma tumors
(American Society for Clinical Investigation, 2022)
New approaches for the management of glioblastoma (GBM) are an urgent and unmet clinical need. Here, we illustrate that the efficacy of radiotherapy for GBM is strikingly potentiated by concomitant therapy with the ...

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 ...

Selective deletion of Caspase-3 gene in the dopaminergic system exhibits autistic-like behaviour
(Elsevier, 2021-01-10)
Apoptotic caspases are thought to play critical roles in elimination of excessive and non-functional synapses and removal of extra cells during early developmental stages. Hence, an impairment of this process may thus ...

Deletion of caspase-8 in mouse myeloid cells blocks microglia pro-inflammatory activation and confers protection in MPTP neurodegeneration model
(Impact Journals, LLC, 2015)
Increasing evidence involves sustained pro-inflammatory microglia activation in the pathogenesis of different neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Parkinson's disease (PD). We recently uncovered a completely novel and ...

Inflammatory bowel disease induces pathologicalα-synucleinaggregation in the human gut and brain
(Wiley, 2024-01-16)
Aims According to Braak's hypothesis, it is plausible that Parkinson's disease (PD) originates in the enteric nervous system (ENS) and spreads to the brain through the vagus nerve. In this work, we studied whether ...

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 ...

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 ...

Inflammatory Animal Models of Parkinson's Disease
(IOS Press, 2022)
Accumulating evidence suggests that microglia and peripheral immune cells may play determinant roles in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Consequently, there is a need to take advantage of immune-related models ...

Galectin‑3, a novel endogenous TREM2 ligand, detrimentally regulates infammatory response in Alzheimer’s disease
(Springer, 2019)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease in which the formation of extracellular aggregates of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide, fibrillary tangles of intraneuronal tau and microglial activation are ...
