Epigenetics, NEURITE AND PSYCHOSIS

by

Reference: ANRn.a.8-MNPSn.a.007 Abstract: Psychotic disorders (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, pervasive developmental disorders) are disabling disorders of variable clinical expression ?, ?d resulting interaction between genetic and environmental factors during critical periods of brain development. Some candidate genes have been identified . Among them, neuregulin, RGS4, DISC1, reelin, BDNF and glutamatergic receptors are involved in the formation … Read more

Characterization of neuronal activity-dependent gene transcription regulation in human iPSC-derived neurons

by

Reference: MJD350 Abstract: Cellular and molecular studies of the human brain are mostly performed on postmortem tissue or animal models. Recently however, induced pluripotent cell (iPSCs) technology has become a valuable tool that enables studies on live human iPSC-derived neurons, thus providing an alternative approach with clear advantages over animal models or postmortem tissue for … Read more

A novel mutation in the X-linked cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 (CDKL5) gene associated with a severe Rett phenotype.

by

Reference: Abstract: Mutations in the X-linked cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 (CDKL5) gene have recently been reported in patients with severe neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by early-onset seizures, infantile spasms, severe psychomotor impairment and very recently, in patients with Rett syndrome (RTT)-like phenotype. Although the involvement of CDKL5 in specific biological pathways and its neurodevelopmental role have not … Read more

Epigenetic Plasticity of the Genome

by

Reference: 503433 Abstract: In this ‘post-genomic’ era, advances in epigenetic research represent a new frontier that is predicted to yield novel insights for gene regulation, cell differentiation, stem cell plasticity, organismal development, human diseases, cancer, infertility and aging. A central emerging concept proposes that there is an ‘epigenetic code’, which considerably extends the information potential … Read more
