p38SJ, a novel DINGG protein protects neuronal cells from alcohol induced injury and death.

29 Nov 2009 Ethanol induces neuronal cell injury and death by dysregulating several signaling events that are controlled, in part, by activation of MAPK/ERK1/2 and/or inactivation of its corresponding phosphatase, PP1. Recently, we have purified a novel protein ... Read more...

Brain gray matter decrease in chronic pain is the consequence and not the cause of pain.

2 Nov 2009 Recently, local morphologic alterations of the brain in areas ascribable to the transmission of pain were reported in patients suffering from chronic pain. Although some authors discussed these findings as damage or loss of brain gray matter, one of ... Read more...

The small heat shock protein Hsp27 protects cortical neurons against the toxic effects of beta-amyloid peptide.

30 Oct 2009 Neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques are considered to be hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and the toxic effects of amyloid-beta peptide (A beta) lead to activation of stress-related signaling and neuronal loss. The small heat shock ... Read more...
