Diminazene Protects Corpus Cavernosum Against Hypercholesterolemia-Induced Injury

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Mikaël Nils Sturny, Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, Fabiana Pereira Da Costa Fraga, Younouss Faye

IntroductionAngiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a key enzyme of the renin angiotensin system, which breaks down angiotensin II and forms angiotensin-(1-7). In erectile tissues, it has been documented that angiotensin II contributes to the development ...

A Current View of Functional Biomaterials for Wound Care, Molecular and Cellular Therapies

Francesco Piraino

The intricate process of wound healing involves activation of biological pathways that work in concert to regenerate a tissue microenvironment consisting of cells and external cellular matrix (ECM) with enzymes, cytokines, and growth factors. Distinct stag ...

Lactoferrin during lactation protects the immature hypoxic-ischemic rat brain

Yohan Van de Looij

Objective Lactoferrin (Lf) is an iron-binding glycoprotein secreted in maternal milk presenting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It shows efficient absorption into the brain from nutritional source. Brain injury frequently resulting from cereb ...

Corticospinal neuroprostheses to restore locomotion after spinal cord injury

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Silvestro Micera, Stéphanie Lacour, Grégoire Courtine, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Pavel Musienko, Ivan Rusev Minev, Nikolaus Wenger, Marco Bonizzato, Janine Beauparlant, David Allenson Borton

In this conceptual review, we highlight our strategy for, and progress in the development of corticospinal neuroprostheses for restoring locomotor functions and promoting neural repair after thoracic spinal cord injury in experimental animal models. We spe ...

Involvement of autophagy in hypoxic-excitotoxic neuronal death

Nikita Rudinskiy

Neuronal autophagy is increased in numerous excitotoxic conditions including neonatal cerebral hypoxia-ischemia (HI). However, the role of this HI-induced autophagy remains unclear. To clarify this role we established an in vitro model of excitotoxicity co ...

BCI and Motion Capture Technologies for Rehabilitation based on Videogames

Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano

We present a cost-effective rehabilitation system based on videogames and multimodal recordings of physiological signals. The system targets patients with sensory-motor impairments resulting from lesions of the central nervous system (e.g., due to stroke o ...

Clinical Proton MR Spectroscopy in Central Nervous System Disorders

Rolf Gruetter, Cristina Ramona Cudalbu

A large body of published work shows that proton (hydrogen 1 [(1)H]) magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy has evolved from a research tool into a clinical neuroimaging modality. Herein, the authors present a summary of brain disorders in which MR spectrosc ...

Cerebral metabolic effects of exogenous lactate supplementation on the injured human brain

Pierre Magistretti, Jocelyne Bloch, Reto Meuli

Experimental evidence suggests that lactate is neuroprotective after acute brain injury; however, data in humans are lacking. We examined whether exogenous lactate supplementation improves cerebral energy metabolism in humans with traumatic brain injury (T ...

Extracellular matrix components in peripheral nerve repair: how to affect neural cellular response and nerve regeneration?

Stéphanie Lacour, Alba Carla De Luca

Peripheral nerve injury is a serious problem affecting significantly patients' life. Autografts are the "gold standard" used to repair the injury gap, however, only 50% of patients fully recover from the trauma. Artificial conduits are a valid alternative ...

Large-Scale Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan Digestion with Chondroitinase Gene Therapy Leads to Reduced Pathology and Modulates Macrophage Phenotype following Spinal Cord Contusion Injury

Bernard Schneider, Nicholas David James

Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) inhibit repair following spinal cord injury. Here we use mammalian-compatible engineered chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) delivered via lentiviral vector (LV-ChABC) to explore the consequences of large-scale CSPG digesti ...
