Friedland, Robert P., Tedesco, Johnathan M., Wilson, Andrea C., Atwood, Craig S., Smith, Mark A., Perry, George, ...
Studies in transgenic mice bearing mutated human Alzheimer disease (AD) genes show that active vaccination with the amyloid β (Aβ) protein or passive immunization with anti-Aβ antibodies has...
The next generation of nuclear fission reactor based neutrino experiments seeking to measure the Theta-13 mixing angle rely upon measurements made by detectors placed close to the reactor, and...

The Neuronal Expression of MYC Causes a Neurodegenerative Phenotype in a Novel Transgenic Mouse
Lee, Hyoung-gon, Casadesus, Gemma, Nunomura, Akihiko, Zhu, Xiongwei, Castellani, Rudy J., Richardson, Sandy L., ...
Many different proteins associated with the cell cycle, including cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and proto-oncogenes such as c-MYC (MYC), are increased in degenerating neurons. Consequently, an...
Lee, Hyoung-gon, Chen, Qun, Wolfram, Julie A., Richardson, Sandy L., Liner, Anna, Siedlak, Sandra L., ...
While considerable evidence supports the causal relationship between increases in c-Myc (Myc) and cardiomyopathy as a part of a “fetal re-expression” pattern, the functional role of Myc in...
Myrick, Kyl V., Huet, François, Mohr, Stephanie E., Álvarez-García, Inés, Lu, Jeffrey T., Smith, Mark A., ...
Whole genome sequencing of the model organisms has created increased demand for efficient tools to facilitate the genome annotation efforts. Accordingly, we report the further implementations and...

Evidence of DNA damage in Alzheimer disease: phosphorylation of histone H2AX in astrocytes
Myung, Na-Hye, Zhu, Xiongwei, Kruman, Inna I., Castellani, Rudy J., Petersen, Robert B., Siedlak, Sandra L., ...
Phosphorylation of the histone family is not only a response to cell signaling stimuli, but also an important indicator of DNA damage preceding apoptotic changes. While astrocytic degeneration,...

Significant increase in JNK, c-Jun, and Cdk5 activities are reported in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Inhibition of c-Jun prevents neuronal cell death in in vivo AD models, highlighting it as a major JNK...
Smith, Mark A., Greene-Naples, Jennifer L., Lyle, Megan A., Iordanou, Jordan C., Felder, Jennifer N.
Repeated administration of many addictive drugs leads to a progressive increase in their locomotor effects. This increase in locomotor activity often develops concomitantly with increases in their...

Sensitization refers to an increase in sensitivity to the effects of a drug and is believed to play a role in the etiology of substance use disorders. Cross-sensitization has been observed between...
