Journal ArticleDOI

Age-dependent therapeutic effect of memantine in a mouse model of juvenile Batten disease.

TL;DR: It is shown that acute inhibition of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-type glutamate receptors by memantine had no effect on the impaired motor coordination of one-month-old Cln3(Δex1-6) mice, and NMDA receptors are identified as a new therapeutic target for juvenile Batten disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcript and in silico analysis of CLN3 in juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis and associated mouse models

TL;DR: Results indicate that the most common mutation associated with JNCL results in a loss of functional CLN3, that the Cln3(Deltaex1-6) mouse harbors a null ClN3 allele, and that it therefore represents a valid model for this disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein Product of CLN6 Gene Responsible for Variant Late-Onset Infantile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Interacts with CRMP-2

TL;DR: It is concluded that alterations in neurite maturation resulting from a loss of CLN6–CRMP‐2 interaction may contribute to neuronal dysfunction and pathology in vLINCL.
Journal ArticleDOI

A multi-site field evaluation of granular inoculants for legume nodulation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that certain granule types have the potential to be used in Australia with grain legumes, particularly in circumstances when seed-applied inoculants are problematic, such as where seed fungicides or insecticides need to be applied.
