A candidate gene investigation of methylphenidate response in adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder patients: results from a naturalistic study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08)Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common childhood onset neuropsychiatric disorder with a complex and heterogeneous symptomatology. Persistence of ADHD symptoms into adulthood is common. Methylphenidate ... -
Capacitance measurement of dendritic exocytosis in an electrically coupled inhibitory retinal interneuron: an experimental and computational study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-04)Exocytotic release of neurotransmitter can be quantified by electrophysiological recording from postsynaptic neurons. Alternatively, fusion of synaptic vesicles with the cell membrane can be measured as increased capacitance ... -
Carbon Dot Therapeutic Platforms: Administration, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, Toxicity, and Therapeutic Potential
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Ultrasmall nanoparticles are often grouped under the broad umbrella term of “nanoparticles” when reported in the literature. However, for biomedical applications, their small sizes give them intimate interactions with ... -
Cardiac Involvement in Systemic and Local Vasculitides: The Value of Noninvasive Multimodality Imaging
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Despite significant advances in managing systemic vasculitides, cardiovascular morbidity, and mortality are still of primary concern. Advances in noninvasive imaging have broadened our understanding of the clinical ... -
Case report: ADHD and prognosis in tyrosinemia type 1
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-18)Neurometabolic disorders such as tyrosinemia type 1 (TYRSN1) may interfere with brain metabolism and show symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in patients treated with the enzyme inhibitor nitisinone ... -
Catestatin, an endogenous Chromogranin A-derived peptide, inhibits in vitro growth of Plasmodium falciparum
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-02-23)Catestatin, an endogenous peptide derived from bovine chromogranin A, and its active domain cateslytin display powerful antimicrobial activities. We have tested the activities of catestatin and other related peptides on ... -
CCT196969 effectively inhibits growth and survival of melanoma brain metastasis cells
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Melanomas frequently metastasize to the brain. Despite recent progress in the treatment of melanoma brain metastasis, therapy resistance and relapse of disease remain unsolved challenges. CCT196969 is a SRC family kinase ... -
Cell Death inducing microbial protein phosphatase inhibitors-mechanisms of action
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-22)Okadaic acid (OA) and microcystin (MC) as well as several other microbial toxins like nodularin and calyculinA are known as tumor promoters as well as inducers of apoptotic cell death. Their intracellular targets are the ... -
CellSegm - a MATLAB toolbox for high-throughput 3D cell segmentation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-08-09)The application of fluorescence microscopy in cell biology often generates a huge amount of imaging data. Automated whole cell segmentation of such data enables the detection and analysis of individual cells, where a manual ... -
Cellular heterogeneity contributes to subtype-specific expression of ZEB1 in human glioblastoma
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-09-25)The transcription factor ZEB1 has gained attention in tumor biology of epithelial cancers because of its function in epithelial-mesenchymal transition, DNA repair, stem cell biology and tumor-induced immunosuppression, but ... -
Cellular Host Responses to Gliomas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-04-23)Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive type of malignant primary brain tumors in adults. Molecular and genetic analysis has advanced our understanding of glioma biology, however mapping the cellular ... -
Cellular responses to metabolic stress. A study on the role of mitochondria in the crosstalk between cell metabolism and survival signaling
(Doctoral thesis, 2012-08-31)Metabolic imbalance is associated with increased risk of several diseases, including cancer. Metabolism affects or is affected by virtually all other cellular processes, which is not surprising considering their conserved ... -
Cerebrospinal fluid proteome shows disrupted neuronal development in multiple sclerosis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-18)Despite intensive research, the aetiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) remains unknown. Cerebrospinal fluid proteomics has the potential to reveal mechanisms of MS pathogenesis, but analyses must account for disease ... -
Challenges and Prospects for Designer T and NK Cells in Glioblastoma Immunotherapy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most prevalent, aggressive primary brain tumour with a dismal prognosis. Treatment at diagnosis has limited efficacy and there is no standardised treatment at recurrence. New, personalised treatment ... -
Changes in Tryptophan-Kynurenine Metabolism in Patients with Depression Undergoing ECT-A Systematic Review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The kynurenine pathway of tryptophan (Trp) metabolism generates multiple biologically active metabolites (kynurenines) that have been implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders. It has been suggested that modulation of ... -
Characterisation of a common hotspot variant in acute intermittent porphyria sheds light on the mechanism of hydroxymethylbilane synthase function
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) is the third enzyme involved in haem biosynthesis, in which it catalyses the formation of tetrapyrrole 1-hydroxymethylbilane (HMB). In this process, HMBS binds four consecutive substrate ... -
Characterisation of Immunoglobulin--IgG Responses During Combination Therapy of Chronic Hepatits-C Virus Infection
