Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) spares the ocular motor system. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the oculomotor neurons are intrinsically protected in ALS. Using high-density cDNA microarrays, we examined the transcriptome of oculomotor nuclei and spinal cords in mice expressing a hu...

Some of the most common neurodegenerative disorders have a strong association with aging. Curiously, these conditions tend to involve specific areas of the central and peripheral nervous system, at least initially. For example, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis preferentially targets spinal motor neuron...

The fast and constant activity of the extraocular muscles (EOMs) impose mechanical and metabolic stresses not typically seen in limb skeletal muscles. These functional properties may explain why EOMs seem to age at a faster rate than other skeletal muscles. Using high-density cDNA microarrays, thi...

Sarcopenia is the decreased muscle mass and weakness associated with aging and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly. To what extent non-locomotive muscles are susceptible to this condition is unclear. For example, age affects laryngeal function (ventilation, airway protective refl...

Microarray hybridization of cDNA libraries obtained from exponentially growing or heat-shocked AW1.7 or GGG10 cultures was performed to compare gene expression of these two strains. Expression of selected genes from different functional groups was quantified by quantitative PCR (q-PCR). DnaK, 30S an...

We used microarrays to detail genome-wide gene expression underlying cardiac myocyte pathologies and identified candidate genes and specific pathways affecting cardiac myopathies Keywords: transgenics, cardiac disease analysis Mouse heart atria were dissected for RNA extraction and hybridisation on...
