Regulation of the neurotrophic factor BDNF gene expression in health and nervous system diseases

by

Reference: ETF8844 Abstract: Neurotrophin brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a growth factor that has important roles in the development and functioning of nervous system by promoting the survival, differentiation and synaptic plasticity of specific neuronal populations. BDNF has received particular interest for its dysregulation in nervous system disorders. Decreases of BDNF and its receptor TrkB … Read more

Relationships between ghrelin concentration in blood and growth and physical activity in children

by

Reference: ETF6225οΎ  Abstract: The biochemical markers that influence the growth of children have not been investigated much. The main goal of the present study is to investigate the relationships between novel peptide hormone ghrelin and anthropometrical characteristics, body composition, physical activity and aerobic working capacity, also to examine the adaptation to aerobic work and weight … 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

CHERISH (Improving diagnoses of mental retardation in children in central eastern Europe and central Asia through genetic characterisation and bioinformatics / statistics)

by

Reference: 223692 Abstract: Mental retardation (MR) is a highly heterogeneous disorder and is of genetic origin in about 50% of the cases. Despite recent progress in research the causes and the pathophysiology of MR remains obscure. It is essential to investigate this in order to develop future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. The overall goal of … Read more
