Journal ArticleDOI

The proliferative capacity of the subventricular zone is maintained in the parkinsonian brain

TL;DR: The adult neural stem cell pool in the subventricular zone was not clearly affected in the human parkinsonian brain or a Parkinson's disease mouse model, and it is concluded that dopamine depletion most likely has no effect on human neural stem cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of vitamin D receptor and metabolizing enzymes in multiple sclerosis-affected brain tissue.

TL;DR: Increased VDR expression in MSNAWM and inflammatory cytokine-induced amplified expression of VDR and CYP27B1 in chronic active MS lesions suggest increased sensitivity to vitamin D in NAWM and a possible endogenous role for vitamin D metabolism in the suppression ofactive MS lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A star is born: new insights into the mechanism of astrogenesis

TL;DR: This review focuses on signaling pathways that instruct astrogenesis, incorporating recently discovered intrinsic and extrinsic regulators and highlights how key molecular pathways like JAK/STAT and Notch are integrated in a complex network of environmental signals and epigenetic and transcriptional regulators to determine NSC differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gender differences in multiple sclerosis: induction of estrogen signaling in male and progesterone signaling in female lesions.

TL;DR: There are gender differences in the CNS of MS patients that may affect lesion pathogenesis, that is, in males, estrogen synthesis and signaling are induced; whereas in females, progestogen synthesis and signalling are induced.
