Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular prion protein binds laminin and mediates neuritogenesis

TL;DR: It is shown that the cellular prion protein (PrPc) is a saturable, specific, high-affinity receptor for LN, involved in the neuritogenesis induced by NGF plus LN in the PC-12 cell line and the binding site resides in a carboxy-terminal decapeptide from the gamma-1 LN chain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induction of cellular prion protein gene expression by copper in neurons

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Prnp expression is upregulated by copper in neuronal cells by an MTF-1-independent mechanism, and suggest a metal-specific modulation of Prnp in neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Are International Asthma Guidelines effective for low-income Brazilian children with asthma?

TL;DR: By applying the International Asthma Guidelines substantial success was achieved, resulting in moving the patients from crises-orientated management into a chronic care and preventive management mode, as well as decreasing the costs of asthma treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insights into the physiological function of cellular prion protein.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PrPc is a high affinity laminin ligand and that this interaction mediates neuronal cell adhesion and neurite extension and maintenance and provides the first evidence for PrPC involvement in signal transduction.
