Calcineurin and mitochondrial function in glutamate-induced neuronal cell death.
We have previously reported that glutamate can trigger a succession of necrosis and apoptosis in cerebellar granule cells (CGC). Since specific blockers of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor channel prevented both types of cell death, the role of Ca2+-dependent processes in the initiation of glutamate toxicity was further investigated. We examined the possible involvement of mitochondria ...
متن کاملSensory roles of neuronal cilia: cilia development, morphogenesis, and function in C. elegans.
In the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, cilia are found on the dendritic endings of sensory neurons. C. elegans cilia are classified as 'primary' or 'sensory' according to the '9+0' axonemal ultrastructure (nine doublet outer microtubules with no central microtubule pair) and lack of motility, characteristics of '9+2' cilia. The C. elegans ciliated nervous system allows the animal t...
متن کاملNeurotrophins: roles in neuronal development and function.
Neurotrophins regulate development, maintenance, and function of vertebrate nervous systems. Neurotrophins activate two different classes of receptors, the Trk family of receptor tyrosine kinases and p75NTR, a member of the TNF receptor superfamily. Through these, neurotrophins activate many signaling pathways, including those mediated by ras and members of the cdc-42/ras/rho G protein families...
متن کاملRadiation-induced Hypothyroidism in Head and Neck Malignancy
Background and Objective: Hypothyroidism is a known consequence of the external beam radiotherapy to the neck encompassing the thyroid gland for over 40 years. The aim of this study was to find out the incidence of hypothyroidism in patients with head and neck cancer treated with radiotherapy, when radia...
متن کاملLipomatous myelomeningocele, athyrotic hypothyroidism, and sensorineural deafness: a new form of syndromal deafness?
This case report describes a 4 year old boy with the unique triad of lipomatous myelomeningocele, congenital hypothyroidism secondary to thyroid agenesis, and sensorineural deafness. While associations between deafness and abnormal thyroid function and deafness and sacral lipoma have previously been described, the constellation of findings in this patient has not been reported.
