Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a human nuclear receptor defines a new signaling pathway for CYP3A induction

TL;DR: Results provide evidence that hPAR and PXR.1 may represent orthologous genes from different species that have evolved to regulate overlapping target genes in response to pharmacologically distinct CYP3A activators, and have potential implications for the in vitro identification of drug interactions important to humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Peptide hormone exendin-4 stimulates subventricular zone neurogenesis in the adult rodent brain and induces recovery in an animal model of parkinson's disease

TL;DR: The results show that exendin‐4 is able to promote adult neurogenesis in vitro and in vivo, normalize dopamine imbalance, and increase the number of cells positive for markers of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra in a model of Parkinson's disease.
Patent

Compounds and methods for increasing neurogenesis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed methods of promoting neurogenesis by contacting neuronal tissue with neuro-genesis modulating agents, and proposed novel methods for treating neurological disorders using neurogenescoding agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

PACAP promotes neural stem cell proliferation in adult mouse brain.

TL;DR: It is concluded that PACAP, through PAC1, is a potent mediator of adult neural stem cell proliferation and ex novo in vitro formation of multipotent neurospheres with the capacity to generate both neuronal and glial cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of a new class of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor modulators.

TL;DR: A series of 5-substituted 2-benzoylaminobenzoic acids synthesized and assayed for PPARalpha/gamma activity was shown to activate the PPARgamma receptor through interaction with a novel binding site.
