Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of autophagy prevents hippocampal pyramidal neuron death after hypoxic-ischemic injury.

TL;DR: It is shown that Atg7, a gene essential for autophagy induction, is a critical mediator of H/I-induced neuron death and represents an attractive therapeutic target for minimizing the neurological deficits associated with H/ I brain injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Participation of autophagy in storage of lysosomes in neurons from mouse models of neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses (Batten disease).

TL;DR: Evidence is shown for a major involvement of autophagy in the pathogenesis of Batten disease/lysosomal storage disorders and suggests that not only CD-/- but also CB-/-CL-/- mice could be useful animal models for neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis/Batten disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Different apoptotic mechanisms are activated in male and female brains after neonatal hypoxia–ischaemia

TL;DR: The CNS is more resistant to HI in adult females compared with males, whereas no sex differences were found in the extent of injury in neonatal mice, but critical sex‐dependent differences were demonstrated in vivo with regard to cellular, apoptosis‐related mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

The MAP1-LC3 conjugation system is involved in lipid droplet formation.

TL;DR: Results indicate that the LC3 conjugation system is critically involved in lipid metabolism via LD formation, and this work shows that under starvation conditions, LDs in addition to autophagosomes were abundantly formed in the cytoplasm of these tissue cells.
