Inflammation features in diverse central nervous system disorders such as stroke, trauma, neurodegeneration, infection and autoimmunity. To better understand how inflammatory mediators may alter astrocyte functions, we examined the effects of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), lipopolysacchar...

We identified human-specific gene expression patterns in the brain by comparing expression with chimpanzee and rhesus macaque Comparative gene expression in human, chimpanzee, and rhesus macaque brain
ORGANISM(S): Pan troglodytes 
We identified human-specific gene expression patterns in the brain by comparing expression with chimpanzee and rhesus macaque. DpnII tag-based libraries were generated from human, chimpanzee, and rhesus macaque brain (frontal pole, hippocampus, caudate nucleus), and sequenced using an Illumina Genom...

Along with the two hallmark pathologies—intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) and extracellular amyloid plaques—transcriptional studies suggest that Alzheimer's disease (AD) results from dysfunction of many cellular pathways including synaptic transmission, cytoskeletal dynamics, and apoptosi...

Multiple FTD patient-specific iPSC lines were generated for the first time, Human neurons of progranulin haploinsufficiency have been established. PGRN S116X neurons are more sensitive to kinase inhibitors-induced cell stress, which can be rescued by ectopic progranulin expression, revealing progran...

Sox2 is expressed by neural stem and progenitor cells, and a sox2 enhancer identifies these cells in the forebrains of both fetal and adult transgenic mouse reporters. We found that an adenovirus encoding EGFP placed under the regulatory control of a 0.4 kb sox2 core enhancer selectively identified ...

Cannabinoids are known to exert immunosuppressive activities. However, the mechanisms which contribute to these effects are unknown. Using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to activate BV-2 microglial cells, we examined how Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the major psychoactive component of marijuana, and can...

Functional genomic analysis of frataxin deficiency reveals tissue-specific alterations and identifies the PPARγ pathway as a therapeutic target in Friedreich's ataxia Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA), the most common inherited ataxia, is characterized by focal neurodegeneration, diabetes mellitus, and l...

Selective isolation of total RNA and then whole genome expression analysis of sprouting neurons in peri-infarct cortex of the adult rat after stroke, compared to adjacent neurons that have not sprouted a new connection, in young adult (2 months) and aged (2 years) animals. Two different fluorescent ...
