Recent gene therapy advancements for neurological diseases
The past few years have seen rapid advancements in vector-mediated gene transfer to the nervous system and modest successes in human gene therapy trials. The purpose of this review is to describe comm...
Neurodegenerative and central nervous system (CNS) diseases represent a major public health issue affecting at least 20 million children and adults in the United States alone. Multiple drugs exist to...
Neuroscience, also known as Neural Science, is the study of how the nervous system develops, its structure, and what it does. Neuroscientists focus on the brain and its impact on behavior and cognitiv...
Mad Cow Disease Can Infect Autonomic Nervous System Before Central Nervous System
Although earlier studies have reported that Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, or "mad cow disease") only affects the autonomic nervous system (ANS) after the central nervous system (CNS) has been...
Scientists have bred fruit flies for first time without neurobeachin protein to facilitate the study of nervous system diseases in humans.
Viral curiosity spreads across continents
(Pew Health Group) Biologist Esteban Engel, Ph.D., was named by The Pew Charitable Trusts as the "Biomedical Researcher of the Month," for his innovative work in neurovirology -- the study of viruses...
Herpesvirus Hijacks Cellular Machinery To Invade Nervous System
Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified a component of the herpesvirus that "hijacks" machinery inside human cells, allowing the virus to rapidly and successfully invade the nervous system up...
Pharmaceutical Research: Delivery Systems and Local Administration Routes for Therapeutic siRNA

Role of ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated proteolysis in nervous system disease.
Proteolysis by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP) is now widely recognized as a molecular mechanism controlling myriad normal functions in the nervous system. Also, this pathway is intimately link...
The Glutamatergic Neurotransmission in the Central Nervous System.
Glutamate is one of the major neurotrasmitters in mammalian brain and changes in its concentration have been associated with a number of neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative, cerebrovas...
Non-viral gene therapy for neurological diseases, with an emphasis on targeted gene delivery.
Non-viral gene therapy systems are considered safer than viral delivery. This article reviews recent research describing novel, non-viral gene delivery to the central nervous system, with a special em...
Role of substance P in viral myocarditis in mice.
Substance P (SP) is widely expressed in the central nervous system and in peripheral tissues such as myocardial nerves. We examined SP in viral myocarditis in mice induced by encephalomyocarditis viru...
Persistent infection of a gammaherpesvirus in the central nervous system.
Human gammaherpesvirus infections of the central nervous system (CNS) have been linked to various neurological diseases. Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV-68), genetically related and biologically simil...
