Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular responses following retinal injuries and therapeutic approaches for neurodegenerative diseases
Nicolás Cuenca,Laura Fernández-Sánchez,Laura Campello,Victoria Maneu,Pedro de la Villa,Pedro Lax,Isabel Pinilla +6 more
TL;DR: An overview of the common and distinctive features of retinal neurodegenerative diseases, including the molecular, anatomical and functional changes caused by the cellular response to damage, are provided in order to establish appropriate treatments for these pathologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Balance between autophagic pathways preserves retinal homeostasis.
Natalia Rodriguez-Muela,Hiroshi Koga,Lucia Garcia-Ledo,Pedro de la Villa,Enrique J. de la Rosa,Ana Maria Cuervo,Patricia Boya +6 more
TL;DR: A marked reduction in macroautophagic activity in the retina with age is described, which coincides with an increase in chaperone‐mediated autophagy (CMA), which is also observed during retinal neurodegeneration in the Atg5flox/flox mice and nestin‐Cre mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise benefits on Alzheimer's disease: State-of-the-science.
Pedro L. Valenzuela,Adrián Castillo-García,Javier S. Morales,Pedro de la Villa,Harald Hampel,Enzo Emanuele,Simone Lista,Alejandro Lucia +7 more
TL;DR: In summary, physical exercise might provide numerous benefits through different pathways that might, in turn, help prevent risk and progression of Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Refractive changes induced by form deprivation in the mouse eye.
Jaime Tejedor,Pedro de la Villa +1 more
TL;DR: Deprived eyes showed significant development of myopia compared with the contralateral fellow eye after transitory hypermetropia, regardless of whether they were deprived before or after natural eye opening, which indicates that myopia is mainly axial.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Protein Kinase DYRK1A Regulates Caspase-9-Mediated Apoptosis during Retina Development
Ariadna Laguna,Sergi Aranda,Maria Jose Barallobre,R. Barhoum,Eduardo Fernández,Vassiliki Fotaki,Jean-Maurice Delabar,Susana de la Luna,Pedro de la Villa,Maria L. Arbonés +9 more
TL;DR: The data suggest a model in which dysregulation of the apoptotic response in differentiating neurons participates in the neuropathology of diseases that display DYRK1A gene-dosage imbalance effects, such as Down's syndrome.
