Systemic immune challenges trigger and drive Alzheimer-like neuropathology in miceDimitrije Krstic
Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Zurich, Winterthurerstrasse 190, CH 8057, Zurich, Switzerland
J Neuroinflammation 9:151. 2012..However, there is no experimental evidence for a causal link between systemic inflammation or neuroinflammation and the onset of the disease...
Characterization and turnover of CD73/IP(3)R3-positive microvillar cells in the adult mouse olfactory epitheliumSANDRA PFISTER
Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Zurich, Winterthurerstrasse 190, CH 8057 Zurich, Switzerland
Chem Senses 37:859-68. 2012..These combined properties are unique among olfactory cells, in line with the possibility that they might regulate cellular homeostasis driven by extracellular ATP and adenosine...
[Prenatal infection as driving force of aging-associated neurodegenerative diseases]I Knuesel
Institut fur Pharmakologie und Toxikologie, Universitat Zurich
Praxis (Bern 1994) 100:299-304. 2011....
Age-related accumulation of Reelin in amyloid-like depositsIrene Knuesel
Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Zurich, Winterthurerstrasse 190, 8057 Zurich, Switzerland
Neurobiol Aging 30:697-716. 2009..Our findings suggest that elevated Reelin plaque load creates a precursor condition for senile plaque deposition and may represent a critical risk factor for sporadic AD...
Reelin-mediated signaling in neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseasesIrene Knuesel
Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Zurich, Winterthurerstrasse 190, CH 8057 Zurich, Switzerland
Prog Neurobiol 91:257-74. 2010..Thus, the findings presented in this review suggest that schizophrenia can indeed be described as a form of accelerated aging or "dementia praecox" as first described by Emil Kraepelin in 1906...
Alterations in dystrophin and utrophin expression parallel the reorganization of GABAergic synapses in a mouse model of temporal lobe epilepsyI Knuesel
Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Zurich, Winterthurerstr. 190, CH-8057 Zurich, Switzerland
Eur J Neurosci 13:1113-24. 2001..These results suggest that utrophin provides structural support of neuronal membranes, whereas dystrophin is a component of GABAergic synapses...
Reduced Reelin expression accelerates amyloid-beta plaque formation and tau pathology in transgenic Alzheimer's disease miceSamira Kocherhans
Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
J Neurosci 30:9228-40. 2010....
Co-localization of Reelin and proteolytic AbetaPP fragments in hippocampal plaques in aged wild-type miceJana Doehner
Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
J Alzheimers Dis 19:1339-57. 2010..Our results suggest that Reelin itself aggregates into abnormal oligomeric or protofibrillary deposits during aging, potentially creating a precursor condition for fibrillary amyloid-beta plaque formation...
Accumulation of reelin-positive plaques is accompanied by a decline in basal forebrain projection neurons during normal agingAmrita Madhusudan
Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
Eur J Neurosci 30:1064-76. 2009....
Identification and characterisation of transcript and protein of a new short N-terminal utrophin isoformR A Zuellig
Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Zurich, CH 8057 Zurich, Switzerland
J Cell Biochem 77:418-31. 2000..It is assumed that it co-localises via the two spectrin-like repeats with the full-length utrophin at the cell membrane...
GABAergic terminals are required for postsynaptic clustering of dystrophin but not of GABA(A) receptors and gephyrinIna Brünig
Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Zurich, CH 8057 Zurich, Switzerland
J Neurosci 22:4805-13. 2002..We suggest that selective signaling from GABAergic terminals contributes to postsynaptic clustering of dystrophin...
Short communication: altered synaptic clustering of GABAA receptors in mice lacking dystrophin (mdx mice)I Knuesel
Institute of Pharmacology, University of Zurich, Switzerland
Eur J Neurosci 11:4457-62. 1999..These deficits may underlie the cognitive impairment seen in Duchenne patients...
Increased vulnerability to kainate-induced seizures in utrophin-knockout miceIrene Knuesel
Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Zurich, Switzerland
Eur J Neurosci 15:1474-84. 2002..These findings suggest that utrophin contributes to protect CNS neurons against pathological insults, in particular, stimuli leading to massive neuronal hypertrophy...
