Book Synopsis Cyclin Dependent Kinase 5 (Cdk5) by : Nancy Y. Ip
Download or read book Cyclin Dependent Kinase 5 (Cdk5) written by Nancy Y. Ip and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-02-28 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyclin Dependent Kinase 5 provides a comprehensive and up-to-date collection of reviews on the discovery, signaling mechanisms and functions of Cdk5, as well as the potential implication of Cdk5 in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Since the identification of this unique member of the Cdk family, Cdk5 has emerged as one of the most important signal transduction mediators in the development, maintenance and fine-tuning of neuronal functions and networking. Further studies have revealed that Cdk5 is also associated with the regulation of neuronal survival during both developmental stages and in neurodegenerative diseases. These observations indicate that precise control of Cdk5 is essential for the regulation of neuronal survival. The pivotal role Cdk5 appears to play in both the regulation of neuronal survival and synaptic functions thus raises the interesting possibility that Cdk5 inhibitors may serve as therapeutic treatment for a number of neurodegenerative diseases.

Book Synopsis Interphase Between Aging and Neurodegenerative Diseases by : Walter E. Müller
Download or read book Interphase Between Aging and Neurodegenerative Diseases written by Walter E. Müller and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2020-01-21 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this Research Topic is to discuss the latest developments in aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Aging represents the major risk factor of the two most relevant neurodegenerative diseases Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It is generally accepted that symptoms of PD correlate with the severity of degeneration of dopaminergic substantia nigra neurons. In most cases neuronal loss during aging is not sufficient to cause clinical symptoms but only leads to a preclinical state of PD. However, in a small number of our population, neurodegeneration by aging gets accelerated by individual (e.g. brain injuries), environmental (e.g. toxins) and genetic (e.g. mutations of the alpha-synuclein gene) factors to reach the critical threshold for clinical symptoms during lifetime. Thus, neurodegeneration in PD appears to represent the common final pathway of “normal brain aging” and all other risk factors including genetics and the accumulation of the neurotoxic alpha-synuclein protein. While aging alone is generally agreed to be sufficient for at least the preclinical state of PD, the situation in AD seems to be different. Aging as the major and well documented risk factor of AD has been neglected for decades. Biochemical mechanisms of brain aging and the cognitive deficits of “normal brain aging” were seen as two not related and independent processes not related to AD. AD has always been characterized for decades by the presence of histopathological alterations (extracellular amyloid- containing plaques and intracellular tangles of hyperphosphorylated tau-protein), by neurodegeneration (synaptic deficits and finally neuronal loss), as well as by severe cognitive deficits clinically often accompanied by neuropsychiatric symptoms like delusions, as already described in the first famous patient Auguste D at the Psychiatric Hospital of Frankfurt. If or if not one or both of the two histopathological hallmarks play a causative role remains unclear until now. The discovery of homocygotic risk genes in most of the very rare (probably less than 1%) cases of early onset AD which share increased production of β-amyloid (Aβ) as one (but probably not the only one) common property led to the hypothesis of Aβ as the major causative factor for the development of AD. It was neglected that plaques density in the brain of AD patients did not correlate with presence and severity of clinical symptoms, while synaptic deficits did so even in first observations already published many years ago. Based on the Amyloid hypothesis, many drug treatments to remove Aβ plaques were developed. Even if all seemed to remove Aβ to some extent, all strategies failed to improve the symptoms of dementia. Thus, other concepts to explain the development of clinical symptoms of AD over time are needed. These should include the brain aging process not only as a statistical but also as a causative contributing factor. These concepts should not only relay on cell or animal models but should much more take into account the disease and the patients. A closer look at the situation in PD will certainly be helpful.

This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 880 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, combining and updating two previous editions, is a unique source of information on the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of metabolic diseases. The clinical and laboratory data characteristic of rare metabolic conditions can be bewildering for both clinicians and laboratory personnel. Reference laboratory data are scattered, and clinical descriptions may be obscure. The Physician’s Guide documents the features of more than five hundred conditions, grouped according to type of disorder, organ system affected (e.g. liver, kidney, etc) or phenotype (e.g. neurological, hepatic, etc). Relevant clinical findings are provided and pathological values for diagnostic metabolites highlighted. Guidance on appropriate biochemical genetic testing is provided. Established experimental therapeutic protocols are described, with recommendations on follow-up and monitoring. The authors are acknowledged experts, and the book will be a valuable desk reference for all who deal with inherited metabolic diseases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Methods in Toxicology, Volume 2: Mitochondrial Dysfunction provides a source of methods, techniques, and experimental approaches for studying the role of abnormal mitochondrial function in cell injury. The book discusses the methods for the preparation and basic functional assessment of mitochondria from liver, kidney, muscle, and brain; the methods for assessing mitochondrial dysfunction in vivo and in intact organs; and the structural aspects of mitochondrial dysfunction are addressed. The text also describes chemical detoxification and metabolism as well as specific metabolic reactions that are especially important targets or indicators of damage. The methods for measurement of alterations in fatty acid and phospholipid metabolism and for the analysis and manipulation of oxidative injury and antioxidant systems are also considered. The book further tackles additional methods on mitochondrial energetics and transport processes; approaches for assessing impaired function of mitochondria; and genetic and developmental aspects of mitochondrial disease and toxicology. The text also looks into mitochondrial DNA synthesis, covalent binding to mitochondrial DNA, DNA repair, and mitochondrial dysfunction in the context of developing individuals and cellular differentiation. Microbiologists, toxicologists, biochemists, and molecular pharmacologists will find the book invaluable.
Book Synopsis A Time for Metabolism and Hormones by : Paolo Sassone-Corsi
Download or read book A Time for Metabolism and Hormones written by Paolo Sassone-Corsi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-04 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen spectacular advances in the field of circadian biology. These have attracted the interest of researchers in many fields, including endocrinology, neurosciences, cancer, and behavior. By integrating a circadian view within the fields of endocrinology and metabolism, researchers will be able to reveal many, yet-unsuspected aspects of how organisms cope with changes in the environment and subsequent control of homeostasis. This field is opening new avenues in our understanding of metabolism and endocrinology. A panel of the most distinguished investigators in the field gathered together to discuss the present state and the future of the field. The editors trust that this volume will be of use to those colleagues who will be picking up the challenge to unravel how the circadian clock can be targeted for the future development of specific pharmacological strategies toward a number of pathologies.
