Rosiglitazone improves spatial memory and decreases insoluble A?(1-42) in APP/PS1 mice.
(2012)Identifying potential novel treatments for patients with Alzheimer?s disease (AD) is a major challenge and drugs used for other indications, particularly if they have anti- inflammatory properties, are particularly ... -
SCFCdc4 acts antagonistically to the PGC-1alpha transcriptional coactivator by targeting it for ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis.
(2008)Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) coactivator-1alpha (PGC-1alpha) is a highly regulated transcriptional coactivator that coordinates energy metabolism in mammals. Misregulation of PGC-1alpha has ... -
The Schizophrenic Faces of PICK1
(2006)Schizophrenia is a grave psychiatric disorder with psychotic symptoms and an enigmatic etiology. Family studies have strongly indicated that genetic risk factors have a role in this disease. Recent findings, together ... -
SIGIRR modulates the inflammatory response in the brain
(Elsevier, 2010)One of the more recently described members of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor family, single-Ig-Interleukin-1 related receptor (SIGIRR), has been identified as a negative regulator of inflammation in several tissues. ... -
Sleep Spindles as Facilitators of Memory Formation and Learning
(2016)Over the past decades important progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms of sleep spindle generation. At the same time a physiological role of sleep spindles is starting to be revealed. Behavioural studies ... -
Small-Molecule Inhibitors at the PSD-95/nNOS Interface have Antidepressant-Like Properties in Mice.
(2013)Previous studies have demonstrated that nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitors are as efficacious as tricyclic antidepressants in preclinical antidepressant screening procedures and in attenuating behavioural deficits ... -
Spatial representation of predictive motor learning
(American Physiological Society, 2003)A key feature of skilled motor behavior is the ability of the CNS to predict the consequences of its actions. Such prediction occurs when one hand pulls on an object held in the other hand; the restraining hand generates ... -
Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors regulate TLR4-induced CXCL5 release from astrocytes and microglia
(2018)Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors (S1PR) are G protein-coupled and compose a family with five subtypes, S1P1R–S1P5R. The drug Gilenya ® (Novartis, Basel, Switzerland) (Fingolimod; FTY720) targets S1PRs and was the first ... -
System for performance measures of predictive grip in a dynamic haptic environment
(2004)Virtual environments provide a powerful means of experimentally examining object manipulation. In object manipulation a key issue is the coor- dination of grip force used to stabilize the object in the presence of load ... -
Targeting S1P receptors in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in mice improves early deficits in locomotor activity and increases ultrasonic vocalisations
(2014)Fingolimod (FTY720) is an oral therapy for relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) and targets sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors (S1PRs). FTY720 also rescues animals from experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), ... -
Tissue Engineering of Cartilage; Can Cannabinoids Help?
(2010)This review discusses the role of the cannabinoid system in cartilage tissue and endeavors to establish if targeting the cannabinoid system has potential in mesenchymal stem cell based tissue-engineered cartilage repair ... -
Toll-like receptor 3 activation modulates hippocampal network excitability, via glial production of interferon-β
(2013)The family of toll-like receptors (TLR) plays a major role in innate immunity due to their pathogen-recognition abilities. TLR3 is a sensor for double-stranded RNA, and regulates host-defense responses to several viruses, ... -
Whole-cell but not acellular pertussis vaccines induce convulsive activity in mice: evidence of a role for toxin-induced interleukin-1 beta in a new murine model for analysis of neuronal side effects of vaccination
(American Society for Microbiology, 2001)Immunization with the whole-cell pertussis vaccine (Pw), while effective at preventing whooping cough in infants, has been associated with local, systemic, and neuronal reactions, including fevers and convulsions in children. ...
