Isolation and characterization of neurotoxic astrocytes derived from adult triple transgenic Alzheimer's disease mice (2022)
Journal Article

Alzheimer's disease has been considered mostly as a neuronal pathology, although increasing evidence suggests that glial cells might play a key role in the disease onset and progression. In this sense, astrocytes, with their central role in neuronal...

Distinct small non-coding RNA landscape in the axons and released extracellular vesicles of developing primary cortical neurons and the axoplasm of adult nerves (2021)
Journal Article

Neurons have highlighted the needs for decentralized gene expression and specific RNA function in somato-dendritic and axonal compartments, as well as in intercellular communication via extracellular vesicles (EVs). Despite advances in miRNA biology,...

Widefield, Spatiotemporal Mapping of Spontaneous Activity of Mouse Cultured Neuronal Networks Using Quantum Diamond Sensors (2020)
Journal Article

Quantum diamond sensors containing Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) centers were integrated into the culture of spontaneously electrically active cultures of live mouse primary cortical neurons. Two diamond formats were used enabling extracellular studies of ce...

PDCD4 regulates axonal growth by translational repression of neurite growth-related genes and is modulated during nerve injury responses (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 Di Paolo et al. Programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) protein is a tumor suppressor that inhibits translation through the mTOR-dependent initiation factor EIF4A, but its functional role and mRNA targets in neurons remain largely unknown. Our work id... Read More about PDCD4 regulates axonal growth by translational repression of neurite growth-related genes and is modulated during nerve injury responses.

Mitochondrial impairment activates the Wallerian pathway through depletion of NMNAT2 leading to SARM1-dependent axon degeneration (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 The Authors Wallerian degeneration of physically injured axons involves a well-defined molecular pathway linking loss of axonal survival factor NMNAT2 to activation of pro-degenerative protein SARM1. Manipulating the pathway through these prot... Read More about Mitochondrial impairment activates the Wallerian pathway through depletion of NMNAT2 leading to SARM1-dependent axon degeneration.

Impact of voluntary exercise and housing conditions on hippocampal glucocorticoid receptor, miR-124 and anxiety (2015)
Journal Article

Background: Lack of physical activity and increased levels of stress contribute to the development of multiple physical and mental disorders. An increasing number of studies relate voluntary exercise with greater resilience to psychological stress, a...

Drosophila CLIP-190 and mammalian CLIP-170 display reduced microtubule plus end association in the nervous system (2015)
Journal Article

Axons act like cables, electrically wiring the nervous system. Polar bundles of microtubules (MTs) form their backbones and drive their growth. Plus end–tracking proteins (+TIPs) regulate MT growth dynamics and directionality at their plus ends. Howe...
