• Common gene expression signatures in Parkinson’s disease are driven by changes in cell composition 

      Sanchez Nido, Gonzalo; Dick, Fiona; Toker, Lilah; Petersen, Kjell; Alves, Guido Werner; Tysnes, Ole-Bjørn; Jonassen, Inge; Haugarvoll, Kristoffer; Tzoulis, Charalampos (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-21)
      The etiology of Parkinson’s disease is largely unknown. Genome-wide transcriptomic studies in bulk brain tissue have identified several molecular signatures associated with the disease. While these studies have the potential ...
    • Inhibition of mitochondrial respiration prevents BRAF-mutant melanoma brain metastasis 

      Sundstrøm, Terje; Prestegarden, Lars; Azuaje, Francisco; Aasen, Synnøve Nymark; Røsland, Gro Vatne; Varughese, Jobin K.; Bahador, Marzieh; Bernatz, Simon; Braun, Yannick; Harter, Patrick N.; Skaftnesmo, Kai Ove; Ingham, Elizabeth S.; Mahakian, Lisa M.; Tam, Sarah; Tepper, Clifford G.; Petersen, Kjell; Ferrara, Katherine W.; Tronstad, Karl Johan; Lund-Johansen, Morten; Beschorner, Rudi; Bjerkvig, Rolf; Thorsen, Frits (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-04-10)
      Melanoma patients carry a high risk of developing brain metastases, and improvements in survival are still measured in weeks or months. Durable disease control within the brain is impeded by poor drug penetration across ...
    • Mitochondrial respiratory chain deficiency correlates with the severity of neuropathology in sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease 

      Flønes, Irene Hana; Ricken, Gerda; Klotz, Sigrid; Lang, Alexandra; Ströbel, Thomas; Dölle, Christian; Kovacs, Gabor G.; Tzoulis, Charalampos (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in multiple neurodegenerative diseases but remains largely unexplored in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Here, we characterize the mitochondrial respiratory chain at the individual ...
