VEGF expression disparities in brainstem motor neurons of the SOD1GP3A ALS model: Correlations with neuronal vulnerability
(Elsevier, 2024)
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare neuromuscular disease characterized by severe muscle weakness mainly due to degeneration and death of motor neurons. A peculiarity of the neurodegenerative processes is ...

Functional Diversity of Neurotrophin Actions on the Oculomotor System
(MDPI AG, 2016)
Neurotrophins play a principal role in neuronal survival and differentiation during development, but also in the maintenance of appropriate adult neuronal circuits and phenotypes. In the oculomotor system, we have demonstrated ...

The Use of PRV-Bartha to Define Premotor Inputs to Lumbar Motoneurons in the Neonatal Spinal Cord of the Mouse
(Public Library of Science, 2010)
Background The neonatal mouse has become a model system for studying the locomotor function of the lumbar spinal cord. However, information about the synaptic connectivity within the governing neural network remains ...

Muscle Progenitors Derived from Extraocular Muscles Express Higher Levels of Neurotrophins and their Receptors than other Cranial and Limb Muscles
(MDPI, 2020)
Extraocular muscles (EOMs) show resistance to muscle dystrophies and sarcopenia. It has been recently demonstrated that they are endowed with different types of myogenic cells, all of which present an outstanding regenerative ...

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Prevents the Downregulation of the Cholinergic Phenotype in Axotomized Motoneurons of the Adult Rat
(Frontiers Media, 2018)
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was initially characterized by its activity on the vascular system. However, there is growing evidence indicating that VEGF also acts as a neuroprotective factor, and that its ...

Extracellular Vesicle-Mediated Communication between the Glioblastoma and Its Microenvironment
(MDPI, 2019)
The glioblastoma is the most malignant form of brain cancer. Glioblastoma cells use multiple ways of communication with the tumor microenvironment in order to tune it for their own benefit. Among these, extracellular ...

Antiproliferative effect of boldine on neural progenitor cells and on glioblastoma cells
(Frontiers Media, 2023)
The subventricular zone (SVZ) is a brain region that contains neural stem cells and progenitor cells (NSCs/NPCs) from which new neurons and glial cells are formed during adulthood in mammals. Recent data indicate that ...
Artículo
Neural progenitor cells isolated from the subventricular zone present hemichannel activity and form functional gap junctions with glial cells
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015)
The postnatal subventricular zone (SVZ) lining the walls of the lateral ventricles contains neural progenitor cells (NPCs) that generate new olfactory bulb interneurons. Communication via gap junctions between cells in the ...

MIF versus SIF motoneurons, what are their respective contribution in the oculomotor medial rectus pool?
(Society for Neuroscience, 2021)
Multiply-innervated muscle fibers (MIFs) are peculiar to the extraocular muscles as they are non-twitch but produce a slow build up in tension on repetitive stimulation. The motoneurons innervating MIFs establish en grappe ...

A Single Intraventricular Injection of VEGF Leads to Long-Term Neurotrophic Effects in Axotomized Motoneurons
(Society for Neuroscience, 2020)
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been recently demonstrated to induce neuroprotective and synaptotrophic effects on lesioned neurons. Hitherto, the administration of VEGF in different animal models of lesion ...
