Journal ArticleDOI

Role of neuronal and endothelial nitric oxide synthase in nitric oxide generation in the brain following cerebral ischemia.

TL;DR: While eNOS contributes only a fraction of total brain NOS activity, during the early minutes of cerebral ischemia prominent NO generation from this isoform occurs, confirming its importance in modulating the process of ischemic injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel Monoclonal Antibodies Demonstrate Biochemical Variation of Brain Parkin with Age

TL;DR: By using these highly specific anti-parkin monoclonal antibodies, it was not possible to detect parkin in α-synuclein-containing lesions inα- synucleinopathies, thereby challenging prior inferences about the role of Parkin in movement disorders other than autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oval cells compensate for damage and replicative senescence of mature hepatocytes in mice with fatty liver disease

TL;DR: Induction of mechanisms to replace damaged hepatocytes is important for limiting the progression of fatty liver disease and expansion of hepatic progenitor cell populations helps to compensate for the increased turnover of damaged mature hepatocytes.
