Nicotinamide and WLDS Act Together to Prevent Neurodegeneration in Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a complex neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive visual dysfunction leading to vision loss. Retinal ganglion cells are the primary affected neuronal population, with a critical insult damaging their axons in the optic nerve head. This insult is typically secondary to harmfully high levels of intraocular pressure (IOP). We have previously determined that early mitocho...
متن کاملAppropriating microbial catabolism: a proposal to treat and prevent neurodegeneration.
Intraneuronal, largely proteinaceous aggregates accumulate in all major neurodegenerative disorders. Lysosomal degradation of proteinaceous and other material declines early in such diseases. This suggests that intraneuronal aggregates consist of material which is normally broken down in the lysosome and thus accumulates when lysosomal degradation fails. This is plausible even though those aggr...
متن کاملCholesterol homeostasis: a key to prevent or slow down neurodegeneration
Neurodegeneration, a common feature for many brain disorders, has severe consequences on the mental and physical health of an individual. Typically human neurodegenerative diseases are devastating illnesses that predominantly affect elderly people, progress slowly, and lead to disability and premature death; however they may occur at all ages. Despite extensive research and investments, current...
متن کاملNeurodegeneration: How Does Parkin Prevent Parkinson's Disease?
Mutations in parkin cause Parkinson's disease due to the loss of the ubiquitin-protein ligase activity of Parkin protein. Recent data suggest we may be beginning to understand the nature of the proteins that are targeted by Parkin and how these cause neuronal damage.
متن کاملThe Conserved microRNA MiR-8 Tunes Atrophin Levels to Prevent Neurodegeneration in Drosophila
microRNAs (miRNAs) bind to specific messenger RNA targets to posttranscriptionally modulate their expression. Understanding the regulatory relationships between miRNAs and targets remains a major challenge. Many miRNAs reduce expression of their targets to inconsequential levels. It has also been proposed that miRNAs might adjust target expression to an optimal level. Here we analyze the conseq...
