Lipid droplets
OK, they are cute, but why should a developmental biologist care about them? Onset of calcification early in ontogeny coupled with gradual, progressive morphological development permits the recognition of growth sequences for over a hundred trilobite species. Striking variation in the number of trunk segments at maturity across ontogeny and phylogeny, coupled with the curious pattern of segment...
متن کاملhdac inhibitors in neurodegenerative disorders
neurodegenerative disorders such as huntingtons disease, alzheimers disease, parkinsons disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy, friedreichs ataxia, and others are multi-factorial illnesses in which many pathways (still poorly understood) act serially and in parallel to give a determined pathologic phenotype. thus, presently there are no effective cures for these disease...
متن کاملNeuroregeneration in neurodegenerative disorders
BACKGROUND Neuroregeneration is a relatively recent concept that includes neurogenesis, neuroplasticity, and neurorestoration--implantation of viable cells as a therapeutical approach. DISCUSSION Neurogenesis and neuroplasticity are impaired in brains of patients suffering from Alzheimer's Disease or Parkinson's Disease and correlate with low endogenous protection, as a result of a diminished...
متن کاملTransglutaminases in neurodegenerative disorders.
Type 2 transglutaminase (TG2) is a calcium-dependent acyltransferase which also undergoes a GTP-binding/GTPase cycle even though it lacks any obvious sequence similarity with canonical GTP-binding (G) proteins. As an enzyme which is responsible for the majority of transglutaminase (TG) activity in the brain, TG2 is likely to play a modulatory role in nervous system development and has regulator...
متن کاملTRAPPing Rab18 in lipid droplets
F ar from being simple storage structures, lipid droplets (LDs) are highly dynamic organelles that are involved in several functions. Testifying to their dynamic nature, several membrane trafficking components are linked to LDs. These include ARF guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs), COPI components, and several Rab GTPases. Despite the fact that almost 40 different Rab GTPases have been ...
