The insulin gene VNTR polymorphism in Alzheimer's disease: results of a pilot studyM Majores
Department of Psychiatry, University of Bonn, Sigmund Freud Strasse 25, D 53105 Bonn, Federal Republic of Germany
J Neural Transm 109:1029-34. 2002..002). Our preliminary results suggest, that genetically determined alterations of the INS/IGF-2 metabolism might modify the course of AD. Further studies are warranted to confirm these data in larger study samples...

Mutational and expression analysis of CDK1, cyclinA2 and cyclinB1 in epilepsy-associated glioneuronal lesionsV Schick
Department of Neuropathology, University of Bonn Medical Centre, Bonn, Germany
Neuropathol Appl Neurobiol 33:152-62. 2007..However, a potential functional significance of lower expression for the cell-size and cell-cycle regulators CDK1 and cyclinA2 in FCD(IIb) composed of large dysplastic neurones and balloon cells needs to be further resolved...
Putative association of polymorphism in the mannose 6-phosphate receptor gene with major depression and Alzheimer's diseaseHeike Kolsch
Department of Psychiatry, University of Bonn, Germany
Psychiatr Genet 14:97-100. 2004..Since exploratory data suggest an involvement of the endosomal lysosomal system in major depression, further studies are warranted to investigate the biological role of the CD-MPR in major depression...
In situ-RT and immunolaser microdissection for mRNA analysis of individual cells isolated from epilepsy-associated glioneuronal tumorsJana Fassunke
Department of Neuropathology, University of Bonn Medical Center, Bonn, Germany
Lab Invest 84:1520-5. 2004..We consider that this in situ-RT/immuno-LCM protocol is of general applicability, whereby virtually any primary antibody can be used to facilitate capture of individual cells in tissue sections for molecular analysis...

Department of Neuropathology, University of Bonn Medical Center, Bonn, Germany
Epilepsia 48:65-73. 2007..However, the underlying cause of PI3K-pathway activation and the functional relationship of PI3K-pathway activity to generation of seizures in epilepsy-associated glioneuronal lesions will need to be determined in the future...
Molecular neuropathology of temporal lobe epilepsy: complementary approaches in animal models and human disease tissueMichael Majores
Department of Neuropathology, University of Bonn Medical Center, Bonn, Germany
Epilepsia 48:4-12. 2007..Here, we will discuss experimental approaches to unravel molecular-neuropathological aspects of TLE and highlight characteristics and potential of molecular studies in human and/or experimental TLE...
