Neurotrophins control neuron number during development by promoting the generation and survival of neurons and by regulating programmed neuronal death. In the latter case, the cell death induced by… (More)
The development of the nervous system is dependent on a complex set of signals whose precise co-ordination ensures that the correct number of neurones are generated. This regulation is achieved… (More)
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE
Increased oxidative stress during ageing and the neurodegenerative disorders associated with this has been described. The central nervous system is particularly vulnerable… (More)
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE
Several authors have suggested that loss of neuronal trophic support may be an important element in the physiopathology of degenerative conditions of the central nervous… (More)
Mutations in the assembly chaperone BCS1L constitute a major cause of mitochondrial complex III deficiency. We studied the presence of BCS1L mutations in a complex III-deficient patient with… (More)
INTRODUCTION
The aetiology of the neuronal death which occurs in neurodegenerative diseases is still unknown. These disorders are of insidious onset and follow an inexorable, gradually progressive… (More)
INTRODUCTION
Genetic therapy is in itself a new type of treatment, of potential use in many neurological conditions currently considered to be resistant to conventional treatment. Great advances have… (More)
