Mutant huntingtin interacts with {beta}-tubulin and disrupts vesicular transport and insulin secretion (2009)

Smith, Ruben, Bacos, Karl, Fedele, Valentina, Soulet, Denis, Walz, Helena A., Obermüller, Stefanie, ...

Huntington's disease is a severe progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG expansion in the IT15 gene, which encodes huntingtin. The disease primarily affects the neostriatum and...

"NeuroStem Chip": a novel highly specialized tool to study neural differentiation pathways in human stem cells (2007)

Anisimov, Sergey V, Christophersen, Nicolaj S, Correia, Ana S, Li, Jia-Yi, Brundin, Patrik

Abstract Background Human stem cells are viewed as a possible source of neurons for a cell-based therapy of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's disease. Several protocols that generate...

Cholinergic neuronal defect without cell loss in Huntington's disease (2006)

Smith, Ruben, Chung, Hinfan, Rundquist, Sara, Colgan, Lesley, Englund, Elisabet, ...

Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG-repeat expansion in the huntingtin (IT15) gene. The striatum is one of the regions most affected by neurodegeneration,...

Laminin {alpha}1 chain improves laminin {alpha}2 chain deficient peripheral neuropathy (2006)

Gawlik, Kinga I., Li, Jia-Yi, Petersén, Åsa, Durbeej, Madeleine

Absence of laminin α2 chain leads to a severe form of congenital muscular dystrophy (MDC1A) associated with peripheral neuropathy. Hence, future therapies should be aimed at alleviating both muscle...

The R6/2 transgenic mouse model of Huntington's disease develops diabetes due to deficient {beta}-cell mass and exocytosis (2005)

Björkqvist, Maria, Fex, Malin, Renström, Erik, Wierup, Nils, Petersén, Åsa, Gil, Joana, ...

Diabetes frequently develops in Huntington's disease (HD) patients and in transgenic mouse models of HD such as the R6/2 mouse. The underlying mechanisms have not been clarified. Elucidating the...

Orexin loss in Huntington's disease (2005)

Petersén, Åsa, Gil, Joana, Björkqvist, Maria, Tanila, Heikki, Araújo, Inês M., ...

Huntington's disease (HD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded CAG repeat in the gene encoding huntingtin, a protein of unknown function. Mutant huntingtin forms...

Orexin loss in Huntington's disease (2004)

Petersén, Åsa, Gil, Joana, Maat-Schieman, Marion LC, Björkqvist, Maria, Tanila, Heikki, Araújo, Ines M, ...

Neuropeptide Y2 receptors are involved in enhanced neurogenic vasoconstriction in spontaneously hypertensive rats

Gradin, Kathryn A, Buus, Carsten L, Li, Jia-Yi, Frøbert, Ole, Simonsen, Ulf

The present study addressed the role of neuropeptide (NPY) Y2 receptors in neurogenic contraction of mesenteric resistance arteries from female spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Arteries were...

Fibroblast Growth Factor-20 Increases the Yield of Midbrain Dopaminergic Neurons Derived from Human Embryonic Stem Cells

Correia, Ana Sofia, Anisimov, Sergey V., Roybon, Laurent, Li, Jia-Yi, Brundin, Patrik

In the central nervous system, fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-20 has been reported to act preferentially on midbrain dopaminergic neurons. It also promotes the dopaminergic differentiation of stem...

Growth Factors and Feeder Cells Promote Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells into Dopaminergic Neurons: A Novel Role for Fibroblast Growth Factor-20

Correia, Ana Sofia, Anisimov, Sergey V., Li, Jia-Yi, Brundin, Patrik

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are a potential source of dopaminergic neurons for treatment of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Dopaminergic neurons can be derived from hESCs and display a...

Neurogenin2 Directs Granule Neuroblast Production and Amplification while NeuroD1 Specifies Neuronal Fate during Hippocampal Neurogenesis

Roybon, Laurent, Hjalt, Tord, Stott, Simon, Guillemot, Francois, Li, Jia-Yi, Brundin, Patrik

The specification and differentiation of dentate gyrus granule neurons in the hippocampus require temporally and spatially coordinated actions of both intrinsic and extrinsic molecules. The basic...
