Chronic treatment with 17-DMAG improves balance and coordination in a new mouse...
Fernandes, Anabela Silva; Silva, Sara Duarte; Carvalho, Andreia Neves; Amorim, Marina; Cunha, Carina Soares; Oliveira, Pedro; Thirstrup, KennethMachado-Joseph disease (MJD) or spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a neurodegenerative disease currently with no treatment. We describe a novel mouse model of MJD which expresses mutant human ataxin-3 at near endogenous levels and manifests MJD-like motor symptoms that appear gradually and progress over time. CMVMJD135 mice show ataxin-3 intranuclear inclusions in the CNS and neurodegenerative changes in k...
Lithium chloride therapy fails to improve motor function in a transgenic mouse ...
Silva, Sara Duarte; Carvalho, Andreia Neves; Cunha, Carina Soares; Castro, Andreia Cristiana Teixeira de; Oliveira, Pedro; Fernandes, Anabela SilvaThe accumulation of misfolded proteins in neurons, leading to the formation of cytoplasmic and nuclear aggregates, is a common theme in age-related neurodegenerative diseases, possibly due to disturbances of the proteostasis and insufficient activity of cellular protein clearance pathways. Lithium is a well-known autophagy inducer that exerts neuroprotective effects in different conditions and has been proposed...
