March 31, 2022
Videnovic A, Lazar AS, Barker RA, Overeem S. ‘The clocks that time us’–circadian rhythms in neurodegenerative disorders. Nat Rev Neurol. 2014;10(12):683-693. doi:10.1038/nrneurol.2014.206 The publisher’s final edited version of this article is available at Nat Rev Neurol Abstract Circadian rhythms are physiological and behavioural cycles generated by an endogenous biological clock, the suprachiasmatic nucleus. The circadian system influences...

Circadian rhythms in neurodegenerative disorders

November 16, 2021
Nassan, M., Videnovic, A. Circadian rhythms in neurodegenerative disorders. Nat Rev Neurol (2021). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41582-021-00577-7 In this Review, the authors discuss the alterations to the circadian system that occur in movement (Parkinson disease and Huntington disease) and cognitive (Alzheimer disease and frontotemporal dementia) neurodegenerative disorders and provide directions for future investigations in this field. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41582-021-00577-7

Chapter 21 – Retina and melanopsin neurons

July 9, 2021
La Morgia C, Carelli V, Sadun AA. Retina and melanopsin neurons. Handb Clin Neurol. 2021;179:315-329. doi: 10.1016/B978-0-12-819975-6.00020-0. PMID: 34225972. Abstract Melanopsin retinal ganglion cells (mRGCs) are the third class of retinal photoreceptors with unique anatomical, electrophysiological, and biological features. There are different mRGC subtypes with differential projections to the brain. These cells contribute to many...

Mobile phone electromagnetic radiation affects Amyloid Precursor Protein and α-synuclein metabolism in SH-SY5Y cells

September 7, 2019
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pathophys.2019.02.004 Abstract In this study, the effects of low-level, GSM emitted ElectroMagnetic Field (EMF) on Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) and alpha-synuclein (α-syn) in human neuroblastoma cells was investigated. Our data indicated alterations on APP processing and cellular topology, following EMF exposure (ℇ = 10.51 V/m, SAR = 0.23 W/kg, exposure time: 3 times, for 10 min, for 2 days). Furthermore, changes in...
