Caffeine, diabetes, cognition, and dementia.
People with diabetes mellitus are at increased risk of cognitive dysfunction. This review explores the relation between caffeine intake, diabetes, cognition and dementia, focusing on type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Epidemiological studies on caffeine/coffee intake and T2DM risk are reviewed. Next, the impact of T2DM on cognition is addressed. Finally, the potential for caffeine to modulate the risk of ...
متن کاملInducible molecular switches for the study of long-term potentiation.
This article reviews technical and conceptual advances in unravelling the molecular bases of long-term potentiation (LTP), learning and memory using genetic approaches. We focus on studies aimed at testing a model suggesting that protein kinases and protein phosphatases balance each other to control synaptic strength and plasticity. We describe how gene 'knock-out' technology was initially expl...
متن کاملControlling the switches: Rho GTPase regulation during animal cell mitosis.
Animal cell division is a fundamental process that requires complex changes in cytoskeletal organization and function. Aberrant cell division often has disastrous consequences for the cell and can lead to cell senescence, neoplastic transformation or death. As important regulators of the actin cytoskeleton, Rho GTPases play major roles in regulating many aspects of mitosis and cytokinesis. Thes...
متن کاملPhotonic Packet Switches: Architectures and Experimental Implementations
Photonic packet switches offer high speed, data rate and format transparency, and flexihility required by future computer com munications and cell-based telecommunications networks. In this paper, we review experimental progress in state-of-the-art pho tonic packet switches with an emphasis on all-optical guided-wave systems. The term all-optical implies that the data portion of a packet rema...
متن کاملInducible and Reversible Lentiviral and Recombination Mediated Cassette Exchange (RMCE) Systems for Controlling Gene Expression
Manipulation of gene expression to invoke loss of function (LoF) or gain of function (GoF) phenotypes is important for interrogating complex biological questions both in vitro and in vivo. Doxycycline (Dox)-inducible gene expression systems are commonly used although success is often limited by high background and insufficient sensitivity to Dox. Here we develop broadly applicable platforms for...
