Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in experimental stroke outcome across the life span
TL;DR: Differences in the cellular response to stroke occur across the life span in both male and female mice and need to be considered when developing relevant therapies for stroke patients, the majority of whom are elderly.
Journal ArticleDOI
miR-23a regulation of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) contributes to sex differences in the response to cerebral ischemia
TL;DR: Embelin treatment significantly exacerbated stroke-induced injury in females but had no effect in males, demonstrating that XIAP is an important mediator of sex-specific responses after stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drosophila roadblock and Chlamydomonas LC7: a conserved family of dynein-associated proteins involved in axonal transport, flagellar motility, and mitosis.
Aaron B. Bowman,Ramila S. Patel-King,Sharon E. Benashski,J. Michael McCaffery,Lawrence S.B. Goldstein,Stephen M. King +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that members of this family of proteins are associated with both flagellar outer arm dynein and Drosophila and rat brain cytoplasmic dyneIn and proposed that roadblock/LC7 family members may modulate specific dyne in functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Metformin in Experimental Stroke
TL;DR: These studies show that the timing, duration, and amount of AMPK activation are key factors in determining the ultimate downstream effects of AM PK on the ischemic brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Mouse t-Complex-encoded Protein Tctex-1 Is a Light Chain of Brain Cytoplasmic Dynein
Stephen M. King,James F. Dillman,Sharon E. Benashski,R. John Lye,Ramila S. Patel-King,K. Kevin Pfister +5 more
TL;DR: Quantitative densitometry indicates that Tctex-1 is a stoichiometric component of the dynein complex, and suggests that cytoplasmic dyne in dysfunction may play an important role in non-mendelian chromosome segregation.
