The Role of Mitochondrial Dynamics on Neurodegenerative Processes of Multiple Sclerosis in Respose to Inflammation and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress
DownloadFall 2014
Biopsies and post-mortem tissue of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) as well as inflammatory demyelinating animal models show that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a hallmark of the progression of these pathologies. Moreover, MS biopsies and animal models of neuroinflammatory diseases...

Phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT), a liver enriched enzyme, is responsible for approximately one third of hepatic phosphatidylcholine (PC) biosynthesis via three sequential methylations of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). PEMT is also expressed in white adipose tissue (WAT). When...

Eukaryotic cells are characterized by the presence of membrane-bound organelles. Close proximity between organelles has been observed for decades, but only recently we have really started to understand the importance of these contacts for cellular function. These contacts consist of areas of...

Cellular responses to stress are an integral part of cardiovascular physiology and pathology, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is the key component in the development and progression of various heart diseases. However, the relative contribution of ER stress pathways to muscle damage and...
