Role of MeCP2 in the proliferationand in the differentiation of the cerebral cortex

by

Reference: Project4 Abstract: Objective: the production of MeCP2 starts very early during development of the central nervous system; although at 14 days after conception the cerebral cortex of mice expressing high levels of MeCP2, the role of MeCP2 during these phases has so far been overlooked. it is our opinion that MeCP2 and in particular … Read more

Creating an experimental modelreproducing a pathogenic mutation of MeCP2

by

Reference: Project3 Abstract: Objective: the majority of animal models of the syndrome Rett available today represent only part of what that actually happens in patients, because most patients are not deprived of the entire gene, but only a small portion of it, or even have change only one amino acid. This project has set itself … Read more

Determination of the role of MeCP2in adult life

by

Reference: PROJECT2 Abstract: The objective of this project is to determine whether the role of MeCP2 runs out during the early stages of development organism, once induced neuronal maturation, or whether it may also be important in advanced stages of life, possibly exerting a maintenance of different biological activities. The transgenic model we have created … Read more

New animal models for understandingof the role of MeCP2 and the development of approachespharmacological

by

Reference: PROJECT1 Abstract: Objective: confirmed the reversibility of the syndrome Rett, a possible therapeutic approach could result by pharmacological modulation of molecular pathways regulated by MeCP2. In this project we will remove MeCP2 from cerebral cortex and hippocampus, areas in which they reside most of the cognitive and affective, to determine the “MeCP2 target genes” … Read more
