Genetic therapy for the nervous system.
Genetic therapy is undergoing a renaissance with expansion of viral and synthetic vectors, use of oligonucleotides (RNA and DNA) and sequence-targeted regulatory molecules, as well as genetically modified cells, including induced pluripotent stem cells from the patients themselves. Several clinical trials for neurologic syndromes appear quite promising. This review covers genetic strategies to ...
متن کاملADENOSINE IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Besides being a metabolite of nucleotides like ATP, adenosine is a mediator of neuronal function in the central nervous system. Its actions are mediated by at least three extracellular receptors. In this review different aspects of adenosine such as biosynthesis, release, inactivation and its receptors are discussed. It also covers pre- and postsynaptic effects as well as postreceptor mecha...
متن کاملInjectable hydrogels for central nervous system therapy.
Diseases and injuries of the central nervous system (CNS) including those in the brain, spinal cord and retina are devastating because the CNS has limited intrinsic regenerative capacity and currently available therapies are unable to provide significant functional recovery. Several promising therapies have been identified with the goal of restoring at least some of this lost function and inclu...
متن کاملGene therapy and the aging nervous system.
In recent years, the first attempts have been made to apply gene transfer technology to protect neurons from death following neurological insults. There has been sufficient progress in this area that it becomes plausible to consider similar gene therapy approaches meant to delay aspects of aging of the nervous system. In this review, we briefly consider such progress and how it might be applied...
متن کاملQuick Assessment of the Nervous System
آیا شما از جمله افرادی هستید که به دلیل عدم اطمینان از بررسی صحیح سیستم عصبی، از بیماران اعصاب دوری می کنید؟ در واقع اعصاب یکی از ساده ترین سیستم های بدن ما است. متاسفانه در اکثر موارد مشکلات ناشی از آموزش بررسی سیستم عصبی، باعث ترس از آن می شود. اگر باور داشته باشید که در شیفت شب یک بخش، قادر به تشخیص افزایش فشار داخل جمجمه در بیمار کهنسال مبتلا به سکته مغزی هستید و نتایج بررسی شما به معنای حف...
