Neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by disruptions to neuronal function and circuitry, leading to a variety of clinical syndromes depending on the affected neuroanatomic regions (Geula, 1998). Many proteinopathies implicated in neurodegenerative
Impaired axonal development and degeneration underlie many debilitating diseases,including hereditary spastic paraplegia(HSP).HSPs are a heterogeneous group of neurogenetic disorders characterized by axonopathy of cortical motor neurons(Fink,2006;Blacksto
Glaucoma is currently the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. Due to aging societies the number of patients suffering from this disease will further increase in the next years. Unfortunately, glaucoma can remain asymptomatic until it is rather fa
Neonatal encephalopathy resulting from an asphyxial episode occurring perinatally is a major cause of death and of permanent neurological disabilities worldwide. Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) started within 6 hours of life and maintained for 72 hours is no
In glaucoma,a leading cause of blindness,retinal ganglion cells are progressively damaged.Intraocular pressure reduction is the only established treatment for glaucoma(Collaborative Normal-Tension Glaucoma Study Group,1998;Vass et al.,2007).
The prevalence of Parkinson\'s disease (PD) is rapidly increasing, and more than 12 million people are expected to suffer from PD by 2040. PD is a highly invalidating neurodegenerative condition that arises from the progressive degeneration of dopaminer
The MATR3 protein was first identified comprising the nuclear matrix, an essential part of preserving the skeletal framework of the nucleus, amongst other nuclear matrins. Composed mainly of intrinsically disordered regions, the protein is made up of 847
The neural retina is a part of the central nervous system. As it lacks regenerative capacity, in an event of injury or disease, neuronal loss leads to visual impairment and often to blindness. Moreover, Müller glia (MG), the predominant glia in the retina
Mammalian central nervous system (CNS) neurons lose axon regenerative ability as they mature. This failure to regenerate shows a clear contrast to a remarkable potential of axon growth during embryonic development and after an injury in the peripheral ner
Formation of the node of Ranvier as a highly coordinated event:Saltatory conduction ensures that information in the vertebrate nervous system is rapidly transmitted over large distances and efficiently processed in complex networks.It requires the insulat
