Presenilin-1 Mutations Increase Levels of Ryanodine Receptors and Calcium Release in PC12 Cells and Cortical Neurons

TL;DR: It is reported that PC12 cells expressing PS1 mutations and primary hippocampal neurons from PS1 mutant knockin mice exhibit greatly increased levels of ryanodine receptors (RyR) and enhanced Ca2+ release following stimulation with caffeine.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Tat Protein of HIV-1 Induces Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Production IMPLICATIONS FOR HIV-1-ASSOCIATED NEUROLOGICAL DISEASES

TL;DR: It is suggested that Tat may provide an important link between HIV and macrophage/glial cell activation and suggest new therapeutic approaches for HIV dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuronal death induced by brain-derived human immunodeficiency virus type 1 envelope genes differs between demented and nondemented AIDS patients.

TL;DR: The HIV-1 envelope diversity observed in these patient groups appeared to influence the release of neurotoxic molecules from macrophages and might account in part for the variability in occurrence of dementia in AIDS patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

The case for strategic international alliances to harness nutritional genomics for public and personal health

Jim Kaput, +86 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide specific recommendations for how to best meet this challenge and discuss the need for new methodologies and the use of comprehensive analyses of nutrient-genotype interactions involving large and diverse populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antisense Oligodeoxynucleotide Inhibition of Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Expression Is Neuroprotective After Intracerebral Hemorrhage

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that reducing TNF-&agr; expression using antisense oligodeoxynucleotides is neuroprotective and indicates a pathogenic role for TNF; during ICH and shows improvement in neurobehavioral deficits at 28 days after hemorrhage induction.
