Correction to: Cognitive Impairment in SLE: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Approaches

Dystrophin induced cognitive impairment: mechanisms, models and therapeutic strategies

Existence of conserved domains in dystrophin and its associated complexes provide an opportunity to understand the role of dystrophin associated signalling and its association with neuronal metabolism in a variety of model organisms. We critically reviewed the studies till 2013 through established search engines and databases. Thus, we review the role of dystrophin and its isoforms in different...

Reserve in mild cognitive impairment – new approaches

The concept of reserve stems from the observation that premorbid factors, e.g. education, result in variation in the response to any kind of brain pathology. As subjects with higher reserve tolerate more neuropathology, symptomatic expression of pathology is delayed. It is thus predicted that neuropathology should be more pronounced in those with higher reserve as compared to those with lower a...

Whole Brain Radiation-Induced Cognitive Impairment: Pathophysiological Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets

Radiation therapy, the most commonly used for the treatment of brain tumors, has been shown to be of major significance in tu-mor control and survival rate of brain tumor patients. About 200,000 patients with brain tumor are treated with either partial large field or whole brain radiation every year in the United States. The use of radiation therapy for treatment of brain tumors, however, may l...

O9: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Options in Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system associated to myelin loss and neurodegeneration. Clinically patients suffer from diverse symptoms and face the risk to become wheelchair-bound. At the moment MS is incurable, thus there is an unmet need for therapeutic options.
