The temporal progression of retinal degeneration and early-stage idebenone treatment in the Pde6brd1/rd1 mouse model of retinal dystrophy by Lei Zhang, Wei Liu, Hai-Yan Wang, Wei Qiang, Ru Wang, Zhi-Li Cui, Zuo-Ming Zhang

“…Subsequent oral administration of idebenone, a mitochondria-protective agent, enhanced retinal function and promoted both photoreceptor cell survival and inner retinal second-order synaptogenesis in rd1 mice at P14. Our findings offer a mechanistic framework, suggesting that mitochondrial damage acts as an early driver for photoreceptor cell death in retinal degeneration.…”

Epicortical Brevetoxin Treatment Promotes Neural Repair and Functional Recovery after Ischemic Stroke by Erica Sequeira, Marsha L. Pierce, Dina Akasheh, Stacey Sellers, William H. Gerwick, Daniel G. Baden, Thomas F. Murray

“…In immature cerebrocortical neurons, PbTx-2 promoted neuronal structural plasticity by increasing neurite outgrowth, dendritogenesis and synaptogenesis. We hypothesized that PbTx-2 may promote excitability and structural remodeling in the peri-infarct region, leading to improved functional outcomes following a stroke. …”

Neural extracellular matrix regulates visual sensory motor integration by Jacqueline Reinhard, Cornelius Mueller-Buehl, Susanne Wiemann, Lars Roll, Veronika Luft, Hamed Shabani, Daniel L. Rathbun, Lin Gan, Chao-Chung Kuo, Julia Franzen, Stephanie C. Joachim, Andreas Faissner

“…Extracellular matrix proteins in the environment of cells are key modulators in synaptogenesis and synaptic plasticity. In the present study, we provide evidence that the combined loss of the four extracellular matrix components, brevican, neurocan, tenascin-C, and tenascin-R, in quadruple knockout mice leads to severe retinal dysfunction and diminished visual motion processing in vivo. …”

Nicotinic Receptors in Sleep-Related Hypermotor Epilepsy: Pathophysiology and Pharmacology by Andrea Becchetti, Laura Clara Grandi, Giulia Colombo, Simone Meneghini, Alida Amadeo

“…These participate in heteromeric nAChRs that are major modulators of excitability in mature neocortical circuits as well as regulate postnatal synaptogenesis. However, growing evidence implicates mutant α2 subunits in ADSHE, which poses interpretive difficulties as very little is known about the function of α2-containing (α2*) nAChRs in the human brain. …”

Sec8 specifically interacts with the PDZ2 domain of synapse associated protein 102 (SAP102) by Katharina Korbula, Katharina Korbula, Iana Hammerschmid, Johannes Lesigang, Johannes Lesigang, Gang Dong, Gang Dong

“…The complex also plays important roles in cell migration, synaptogenesis, and neurite outgrowth. One of its subunits, Sec8, was reported to interact with two major synaptic scaffolding proteins SAP102 and PSD-95 that share high sequence homology and contain three PDZ domains at their N-terminal region. …”

Chronic Pain after Bone Fracture: Current Insights into Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies by Yuying Zhao, Haoyue Zhang, Nan Li, Jing Li, Linlin Zhang

“…Recent progress has deepened our understanding of the emerging properties of chemokine production, proinflammatory mediator secretion, caspase activation, neurotransmitter release, and neuron-glia interaction in initiating and sustaining synaptogenesis, synaptic strength, and signal transduction in central pain sensitization, indicating the possibility of targeting neuroinflammation to prevent and treat CFP. …”
