Environmental exposure to the highly persistent chlorinated pesticides including dieldrin and lindane is postulated to be a risk factor to the development of Parkinson’s disease, a devastating movement disorder. We have previously reported that the

Currently, the only effective therapy for acute ischemic stroke is the thrombolytic agent recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. α1-Antitrypsin, an endogenous inhibitor of serine proteinases and a primary acute phase protein with potent anti-infl

Rat umbilical cord matrix (RUCM) cells are stem-cell-like cells and have been shown to reduce neuronal loss in the selectively vulnerable brain regions after cardiac arrest (CA). Here, we investigate whether this protection is mediated by the RUCM ce

The accumulation and deposition of the 40-42-amino acid peptide amyloid beta (Abeta) is thought to be a critical event in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Both passive and active immunizations against Abeta in amyloid-depositing transgenic

This study characterized the presynaptic dopaminergic properties of neuronally differentiated mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. Approximately 30% of the ES cells expressed tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunoreactivity when co-cultured with PA6 cells. The

Successful gene therapy depends on efficient gene transfer vectors. Viral vectors and non-viral vectors have been investigated extensively. Cationic lipids are non-viral vectors, which resemble traditional pharmaceuticals, display little immunogenici

Neurodegenerative diseases as a class do not have effective pharmacotherapies. This is due in part to a poor understanding of the pathologies of the disease processes, and the lack of effective medications. Gene delivery is an attractive possibility

Administration of nerve growth factor (NGF) by intracerebroventricular infusion or transplantation of NGF-secreting cells to the basal forebrain improves spatial memory in aged animals. Using the adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector system, basal fore

Background To date, recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) is the only approved drug for ischemic stroke. It is intravenously administered functioning as a thrombolytic agent and is used to obtain reperfusion of the affected area of the brai
