The role of p53 and ASPP2 in neurodegenerative disease by Turnquist, C

“…</p> <p>Additionally, I investigate the regulation of cellular senescence by p53 isoforms as a means to enhance neuroprotection of astrocytes in chronic neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Here we report that p53 isoforms, Δ133p53 and p53β, are endogenous regulators of cellular senescence in the central nervous system (CNS). …”

Structural and metamorphic architecture of the Zanskar Himalaya, Suru Valley region, NW India: Implications for the evolution of the Himalayan metamorphic core by Cawood, IP, St-Onge, MR, Weller, OM, Searle, MP, Waters, DJ, Ahmad, T

“…The reduced expression and/or discontinuous nature of exhuming fault systems, which produces variable levels of crustal exposure, may account for this lateral heterogeneity across the mountain belt. Deciphering the complex kinematics of continental tectonics requires the integration of observations and data over large length scales and a range of structural levels.…”
