Neurological Disorders: Towards a Mechanistic Understanding of Restless Legs Syndrome
Restless legs syndrome is a curious neurological disorder of unknown aetiology. A new study has found that Drosophila mutants in the fly homologue of a human gene, BTBD9, that has been implicated as a risk factor for restless legs display important features of the syndrome.
متن کاملMetabolic phenotyping and systems biology approaches to understanding neurological disorders
The development of high-throughput metabolic profiling and the study of the metabolome are particularly important in brain research where small molecules or metabolites play fundamental signalling roles: neurotransmitters, signalling lipids, osmolytes and even ions. Metabolic profiling has shown that metabolic perturbations in the brain go beyond alterations of neurotransmission and that variat...
متن کاملAn Evolutionary Biology Approach to Understanding Neurological Disorders
Many common human neurological disorders, including epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, autism spectrum disorders, and schizophrenia show complex heritability and genetics. While studies of single-gene diseases typically provide a more straightforward opportunity to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms of disease, complex diseases are more common and inherently more di...
متن کاملStem Cell Therapy in Pediatric Neurological Disorders
Pediatric neurological disorders including muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injury are defined as a heterogenous group of diseases, of which some are known to be genetic. The two significant features represented for stem cells, leading to distinguish them from other cell types are addressed as below: they can renew themselves besides the ability to differentiate into cells wi...
