Engraftment, migration and differentiation of neural stem cells in the rat spinal cord following contusion injury
(Elsevier, 2012-12-20)
Background aims. Spinal cord injury is a devastating injury that impacts drastically on the victim's quality of life. Stem cells have been proposed as a therapeutic strategy. Neural stem (NS) cells have been harvested from ...
The management of diabetes in adults and children with psychiatric disorders in inpatient settings
(JBDS-IP (Joint British Diabetes Societies for Inpatient Care) and RCPsych (Royal College of Psychiatrists), 2017-05)
Nearly every category of ICD-10 Chapter F (mental disorders) is associated with diabetes and with
worse outcomes and premature mortality.1
In addition, many people with diabetes suffer from diabetes
related distress.
The ...
Comparison of cellular architecture, axonal growth, and blood vessel formation through cell-loaded polymer scaffolds in the transected rat spinal cord
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2014-08-08)
The use of multichannel polymer scaffolds in a complete spinal cord transection injury serves as a deconstructed model that allows for control of individual variables and direct observation of their effects on regeneration. ...
Assembly of protein-based hollow spheres encapsulating a therapeutic factor
(American Chemical Society, 2013-06-13)
Neurotrophins, as important regulators of neural development, function and survival, have a therapeutic potential to repair damaged neurons. However, a controlled delivery of therapeutic molecules to injured tissue remains ...
Lentiviral vector delivery of short hairpin RNA to NG2 and neurotrophin-3 promotes locomotor recovery in injured rat spinal cord
(Elsevier, 2012-01-08)
Background aims. In this study we investigated the effect of neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) and knockdown of NG2, one of the main inhibitory chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPG), in the glial scar following spinal cord injury ...
Evidence for a role of GABAergic and glutamatergic signalling in the basolateral amygdala in endocannabinoid-mediated fear-conditioned analgesia in rats
(Elsevier, 2012-12-31)
The basolateral amygdala (BLA) is a key substrate facilitating the expression of fear-conditioned analgesia (FCA). However, the neurochemical mechanisms in the BLA which mediate this potent suppression of pain responding ...
Characterisation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor signalling in the midbrain periaqueductal grey of rats genetically prone to heightened stress, negative affect and hyperalgesia
(Elsevier, 2016-12-01)
The stress-hyperresponsive Wistar-Kyoto (WRY) rat strain exhibits a hyperalgesic phenotype and is a useful genetic model for studying stress-pain interactions. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signalling ...
Supraspinal transient receptor potential subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) in pain and psychiatric disorders
(Karger, 2015)
The transient receptor potential subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) belongs to the diverse transient receptor potential (TRP) family of cation channels. It was first characterized in primary afferent fibres as a receptor for ...
Therapeutic effect of neurotrophin-3 treatment in an injectable collagen scaffold following rat spinal cord hemisection injury
(American Chemical Society, 2016-08-01)
Spinal cord injury (SCI) patients display varying quantities of spinal cord tissue damage with injuries that present as complete, incomplete or compressive. One theory proposed to repair the injured spinal cord and regain ...
Animal models of focal cerebral ischaemia and haemorrhage transformation: considerations in experimental stroke study design
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2017)
Background: Ischaemic stroke is often complicated with haemorrhage within the infarct zone or in a remote location especially when treated with intravenous thrombolysis and/or thrombectomy. While these early recanalisation ...
