Loss of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is preceded by loss of synaptic dopamine (DA) and accumulation of proteinaceous aggregates. Linking these deficits is critical to restoring DA signaling in PD. Using murine and human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) models of PD coupled with human...
Global gene expression studies were performed to determine whether the granulocytic-like MDSC populations from G-CSF treated mice resembled those of tumor-bearing (TB) mice more so than those of the non-tumor-bearing control (i.e., WT) at a molecular level. Splenic CD11b+Gr-1high cell populations fr...
The Scott syndrome is a rare bleeding disorder associated with a mutation in the gene encoding anoctamin-6 (TMEM16F). After stimulation of Ca2+-mobilizing agonists, syndromatic platelets show a reduced phosphatidylserine exposure and do not form membrane blebs. Given the central role of anoctamin-6 ...
