Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study identifies five new schizophrenia loci

Stephan Ripke, +210 more
- 01 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: The authors examined the role of common genetic variation in schizophrenia in a genome-wide association study of substantial size: a stage 1 discovery sample of 21,856 individuals of European ancestry and a stage 2 replication sample of 29,839 independent subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common variants conferring risk of schizophrenia

Hreinn Stefansson, +94 more
- 06 Aug 2009 - 
TL;DR: Findings implicating the MHC region are consistent with an immune component to schizophrenia risk, whereas the association with NRGN and TCF4 points to perturbation of pathways involved in brain development, memory and cognition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arrest of beta-amyloid fibril formation by a pentapeptide ligand.

TL;DR: It is shown that peptides incorporating a short Aβ fragment (KLVFF; Aβ) can bind full-length Aβ and prevent its assembly into amyloid fibrils and suggested that residues Aβ serve as a binding sequence during Aβ polymerization and fibril formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distribution of peptide- and catecholamine-containing neurons in the gastro-intestinal tract of rat and guinea-pig: immunohistochemical studies with antisera to substance P, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, enkephalins, somatostatin, gastrin/cholecystokinin, neurotensin and dopamine beta-hydroxylase.

TL;DR: The possible coexistence of two peptides in one neuron was studied and evidence was obtained for the occurrence of a somatostatin-like and a gastrin/ CCK-like peptide in the same neurons, which may indicate a common precursor for the two peptided in these particular neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunohistochemical studies using antibodies to leucine-enkephalin: Initial observations on the nervous system of the rat

TL;DR: Findings provide morphological support for the hypothesis that enkephalins are contained in nerve terminals close to opiate receptors as revealed by biochemical techniques.
