Life-or-Death Decisions upon Axonal Damage
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this issue of Neuron, Hu et al. (2012) report that upon axonal damage, CHOP and XBP1 unfolded protein response pathways are not recruited equally and have opposite effects on neuronal survival. XBP1 pathway boosting may represent a valuable neuroprotective strategy.

Cellular and subcellular change evoked by diffuse traumatic brain injury: a complex web of change extending far beyond focal damage.
Until recently, our understanding of the cellular and subcellular changes evoked by diffuse traumatic brain injury has been framed in the context of primary focal injury. In this regard, the ensuing cell death cascades were linked to contusional-mediated changes associated with frank hemorrhage and ischemia, and these were assumed to contribute to the observed apoptotic and necrotic neuronal de...
متن کاملThe Neuropathology of Fatal Cerebral Malaria in Malawian Children
We examined the brains of 50 Malawian children who satisfied the clinical definition of cerebral malaria (CM) during life; 37 children had sequestration of infected red blood cells (iRBCs) and no other cause of death, and 13 had a nonmalarial cause of death with no cerebral sequestration. For comparison, 18 patients with coma and no parasitemia were included. We subdivided the 37 CM cases into ...
متن کاملImplications of white matter damage in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease, which involves the progressive degeneration of motor neurons. ALS has long been considered a disease of the grey matter; however, pathological alterations of the white matter (WM), including axonal loss, axonal demyelination and oligodendrocyte death, have been reported in patients with ALS. The present review examined mo...

متن کاملFabry dissase from the dentist view
Fabry disease is a rare, inherited disease with lack of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A (α-Gal) in the cells of the body that participates in the breakdown of fat. The disease begins in early childhood, progresses slowly throughout life and results in severe damage of the kidneys, heart and central nervous system. The disease is life-threatening and if left untreated, death ...
