Addition of a Viral Immunomodulatory Domain to Etanercept Generates a Bifunctional Chemokine and TNF Inhibitor
(2020)The inhibition of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) through the use of either antibodies or soluble receptors is a highly effective strategy for the clinical control of chronic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. ... -
Age-related networks of regional covariance in MRI gray matter: Reproducible multivariate patterns in healthy aging
(Elsevier, 2009)Healthy aging is associated with brain volume reductions that involve the frontal cortex, but also affect other brain regions. We sought to identify an age-related network pattern of MRI gray matter using a multivariate ... -
Alkylating histone deacetylase inhibitors may have therapeutic value in experimental myeloperoxidase-ANCA vasculitis
(2018)Current therapies for treating antineutrophil cytoplasm autoantibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis include cyclophosphamide and corticosteroids. Unfortunately, these agents are associated with severe adverse effects, despite ... -
Application of simulated annealing to the biclustering of gene expression data
(2006)In a gene expression data matrix, a bicluster is a submatrix of genes and conditions that exhibits a high correlation of expression activity across both rows and columns. The problem of locating the most significant ... -
Aß Facilitates LTD at Schaffer Collateral Synapses Preferentially in the Left Hippocampus
(2018)Promotion of long-term depression (LTD) mechanisms by synaptotoxic soluble oligomers of amyloid-β (Aß) has been proposed to underlie synaptic dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Previously, LTD was induced by relatively ... -
The C-type lectin SIGNR1 binds Schistosoma mansoni antigens in vitro, but SIGNR1-deficient mice have normal responses during schistosome infection
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009)The de novo immune response to infectious organisms arises from the innate recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by the host's pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). As the generation of type 2 ... -
CD200 ligand receptor interaction modulates microglial activation in vivo and in vitro: a role for IL-4.
(Society for Neuroscience, 2007)Deficits in cognitive function are associated with neuroinflammatory changes, typified by activation of glial cells and an alteration of the pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine balance in the brain. Although there is ... -
Collaborative genome-wide association analysis supports a role for ANK3 and CACNA1C in bipolar disorder.
(Nature Publishing Group, 2008)To identify susceptibility loci for bipolar disorder, we tested 1.8 million variants in 4,387 cases and 6,209 controls and identified a region of strong association (rs10994336, P = 9.1 10-9) in ANK3 (ankyrin G). We also ... -
Conjugated linoleic acid suppresses NF-kappa B activation and IL-12 production in dendritic cells through ERK-mediated IL-10 induction
(The American Association of Immunologists, 2005)Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have been shown to modulate immune responses and have therapeutic effects in inflammatory disorders. However, the influence of PUFA on dendritic cells (DC), key cells of the innate immune ... -
Coupling of autism genes to tissue-wide expression and dysfunction of synapse, calcium signalling and transcriptional regulation
(2020)Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous disorder that is often accompanied with many co-morbidities. Recent genetic studies have identified various pathways from hundreds of candidate risk genes with varying ... -
Decoy receptors in the regulation of T Helper cell type 2 response
(The Rockefeller University Press, 2003) -
Dendritic cell-derived hepcidin sequesters iron from the microbiota to promote mucosal healing
(2020)Bleeding and altered iron distribution occur in multiple gastrointestinal diseases, but theimportance and regulation of these changes remain unclear. We found that hepcidin, themaster regulator of systemic iron homeostasis, ... -
Derivation of iPSC lines from three young healthy donors of Caucasian origin (NUIGi035-A; NUIGi036-A; NUIGi037-A)
(2020)The induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology has offered an unprecedented opportunity for disease modelling and drug discovery. Here we used non-integrating Sendai viral method and derived iPSCs from three young ... -
Derivation of two iPSC lines from a sporadic ASD patient (NUIGi033-A) and a paternal control (NUIGi034-A)
(2020)Hundreds of rare risk factors have been identified for ASD, however, the underlying causes for ~70% of sporadic cases are unknown. Sporadic ASD models are thus essential for validating phenotypic commonality and drug ... -
Development of a novel CD52 functionalised nanoparticle for the targeting of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Clinical Medicine, 2019)Nanomedicine has been recognised as a next-generation technology for the treatment and management of many disease states, including blood cancers. The term nanotechnology was first coined in 1974 and, is at the interface ... -
Dissociation in performance of children with ADHD and high-functioning autism on a task of sustained attention.
(Elsevier, 2007)Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism are two neurodevelopmental disorders associated with prominent executive dysfunction, which may be underpinned by disruption within fronto-striatal and fronto-parietal ... -
Distinct and Overlapping Effector Functions of Expanded Human CD4, CD8? and CD4CD8? Invariant Natural Killer T Cells
(2011)CD1d-restricted invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells have diverse immune stimulatory/regulatory activities through their ability to release cytokines and to kill or transactivate other cells. Activation of iNKT cells ... -
Exploring Sex-Related Differences in Microglia May Be a Game-Changer in Precision Medicine
(2022)One area of microglial biology that has been relatively neglected until recently is sex differences and this is in spite of the fact that sex is a risk factor in several diseases that are characterized by neuroinflammation ... -
Functional magnetic resonance imaging as a dynamic candidate biomarker for Alzheimer's disease.
(Elsevier, 2011)During the last two decades, imaging of neural activation has become an invaluable tool for assessing the functional organization of the human brain in vivo. Due to its widespread application in neuroscience, functional ...
