PURPOSE: Orange pigment is an important sign of malignancy in melanocytic tumors. There is a question as to whether the pigment accumulation is inside of macrophages or retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. We investigated which cells are involved with...

Degeneration in Arousal Neurons in Chronic Sleep Disruption Modeling Sleep Apnea.

Frontiers in neurology

Zhu Y, Fenik P, Zhan G, Xin R, Veasey SC.
PMID: 26074865
Front Neurol. 2015 May 26;6:109. doi: 10.3389/fneur.2015.00109. eCollection 2015.

Chronic sleep disruption (CSD) is a cardinal feature of sleep apnea that predicts impaired wakefulness. Despite effective treatment of apneas and sleep disruption, patients with sleep apnea may have persistent somnolence. Lasting wake disturbances in treated sleep apnea raise...

Genetics of the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (Batten disease).

The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a group of inherited neurodegenerative disorders that affect children and adults and are grouped together by similar clinical features and the accumulation of autofluorescent storage material. More than a dozen genes containing over...

Mice homozygous for c.451C>T mutation in Cln1 gene recapitulate INCL phenotype.

OBJECTIVE: Nonsense mutations account for 5-70% of all genetic disorders. In the United States, nonsense mutations in the CLN1/PPT1 gene underlie >40% of the patients with infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (INCL), a devastating neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disease. We sought...

Data on characterizing the gene expression patterns of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis genes: CLN1, CLN2, CLN3, CLN5 and their association to interneuron and neurotransmission markers: Parvalbumin and Somatostatin.

Data in brief
