Over the past 20 years, tremendous advances have been made in the field of spinal cord injury research. Yet, consumed with individual pieces of the puzzle, we have failed as a community to grasp the magnitude of the sum of our findings. Our current knowled ...
RNAi holds promise for neurodegenerative disorders caused by gain-of-function mutations. We and others have demonstrated proof-of-principle for viral-mediated RNAi in a mouse model of motor neuron disease. Lentivirus and adeno-associated virus have been us ...
The gene uncx4.1 is a paired-type homeobox transcription factor, expressed during zebrafish embryonic development in branchial arches, somites, CNS and pronephric ducts. In particular, the expression at the somite level is detectable from 5ss stage and bec ...
High antigenic compatibility and low toxicity is associated with xenograft transplantation of porcine tissues in immunodeficient human recipients. We hypothesized that adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) of porcine origin could be highly compatible to human ti ...
BACKGROUND: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal, progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by rapid loss of muscle control and eventual paralysis due to the death of large motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Growth factors such ...
Adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2) provokes a DNA damage response that mimics a stalled replication fork. We have previously shown that this response is dependent on ataxia telangiectasia-mutated and Rad3- related kinase and involves recruitment of DNA r ...
Caring and rehabilitation of spinal cord injuries have greatly evolved during the twentieth century. Unfortunately standard training still heavily relies on manual mobilization of the patient. Which not only results in short training periods, but also prev ...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease in which there is a progressive loss of motor neurons and their connections to muscle, leading to paralysis. In order to maintain muscle connections in a rat model of familial ALS (FA ...
Human neural progenitor cells (hNPC) hold great potential as an ex vivo system for delivery of therapeutic proteins to the central nervous system. When cultured as aggregates, termed neurospheres, hNPC are capable of significant in vitro expansion. In the ...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder arising from the selective death of motor neurons. Approximately 20% of familial ALS (fALS) cases are caused by toxic gain-of-function mutations in the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) ...
