Protection by glia-conditioned medium in a cell model of Huntington disease.

PLoS currents

Ruiz C, Casarejos MJ, Gomez A, Solano R, de Yebenes JG, Mena MA.
PMID: 22919565
PLoS Curr. 2012 Jul 02;4:e4fbca54a2028b. doi: 10.1371/4fbca54a2028b.

The physiological role of huntingtin and the pathogenic mechanisms that produce the disease are unknown. Mutant huntingtin changes its normal localization and produces cytoplasmic and intranuclear inclusions, changes gene transcription, alters synaptic transmission, impairs mitochondrial activity and activates caspases...

Determination of the Median Lethal Dose and Electrophoretic Pattern of Hottentotta saulcyi (Scorpiones, Buthidae) Scorpion Venom.

Journal of arthropod-borne diseases

Yağmur EA, Özkan Ö, Karaer KZ.
PMID: 26623435
J Arthropod Borne Dis. 2015 Mar 11;9(2):238-45. eCollection 2015 Dec.

BACKGROUND: In this study, we investigated the lethal potency, electrophoretic protein pattern and in vivo effects of Hottentotta saulcyi scorpion venom in mice.METHODS: Scorpions were collected at night, by using a UV lamp from Mardin Province, Turkey. Venom was...

Enzyme-luminescence method: Tool for real-time monitoring of natural neurotoxins in vitro and l-glutamate release from primary cortical neurons.

Biotechnology reports (Amsterdam, Netherlands)

Zakir Hossain SM.
PMID: 28352593
Biotechnol Rep (Amst). 2016 Jan 18;9:57-65. doi: 10.1016/j.btre.2015.12.002. eCollection 2016 Mar.

Novel enzyme-luminescence method is used for the rapid and sensitive in vitro detection of natural neurotoxins (e.g., shellfish and mushroom toxins) using model brain cells. Paralytic shellfish poisons gonyautoxins (e.g., GTX2,3 and GTX1,4) were detected at 1 nM level...

Ganoderma Lucidum polysaccharides protect against MPP(+) and rotenone-induced apoptosis in primary dopaminergic cell cultures through inhibiting oxidative stress.

American journal of neurodegenerative disease

Guo SS, Cui XL, Rausch WD.
PMID: 27335703
Am J Neurodegener Dis. 2016 Jun 01;5(2):131-44. eCollection 2016.

Oxidative stress plays a pivotal role in the progressive neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD) which is responsible for disabling motor abnormalities in more than 6.5 million people worldwide. Polysaccharides are the main active constituents from Ganoderma lucidum which is...

Can mixtures of cyanotoxins represent a risk to the zooplankton? The case study of Daphnia magna Straus exposed to hepatotoxic and neurotoxic cyanobacterial extracts.

Harmful algae

Freitas EC, Pinheiro C, Rocha O, Loureiro S.
PMID: 28040103
Harmful Algae. 2014 Jan;31:143-152. doi: 10.1016/j.hal.2013.11.004. Epub 2013 Dec 01.

Worldwide, cyanobacterial blooms have been increasing in intensity and frequency, with toxic cyanobacteria sometimes dominant throughout the year in many freshwater bodies. Since the coexistence of more than one type of cyanotoxins in freshwater environments is a common phenomenon,...

Using Tinbergen's Four Questions as the Framework for a Neuroscience Capstone Course.

Journal of undergraduate neuroscience education : JUNE : a publication of FUN, Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience

Meitzen J.
PMID: 26557795
J Undergrad Neurosci Educ. 2015 Oct 15;14(1):A46-55. eCollection 2015.

Capstone courses for upper-division students are a common feature of the undergraduate neuroscience curriculum. Here is described a method for adapting Nikolaas Tinbergen's four questions to use as a framework for a neuroscience capstone course, in this case with...

Detection of Botulinum Toxins A, B, E, and F in Foods by Endopep-MS.

Journal of agricultural and food chemistry

Kalb SR, Krilich JC, Dykes JK, Lúquez C, Maslanka SE, Barr JR.
PMID: 25578960
J Agric Food Chem. 2015 Feb 04;63(4):1133-1141. doi: 10.1021/jf505482b. Epub 2015 Jan 22.

Botulism is caused by exposure to botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs). BoNTs are proteins secreted by some species of clostridia; these neurotoxins are known to interfere with nerve impulse transmission, thus causing paralysis. Botulism may be contracted through consumption of food...

Explaining human recreational use of 'pesticides': The neurotoxin regulation model of substance use vs. the hijack model and implications for age and sex differences in drug consumption.

Frontiers in psychiatry

Hagen EH, Roulette CJ, Sullivan RJ.
PMID: 24204348
Front Psychiatry. 2013 Nov 05;4:142. doi: 10.3389/fpsyt.2013.00142.

Most globally popular drugs are plant neurotoxins or their close chemical analogs. These compounds evolved to deter, not reward or reinforce, consumption. Moreover, they reliably activate virtually all toxin defense mechanisms, and are thus correctly identified by human neurophysiology...

Modeling Parkinson's disease in the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus): overview of models, methods, and animal care.

Laboratory animal research

Yun JW, Ahn JB, Kang BC.
PMID: 26755918
