Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Synaptopathies: Emerging Synaptic aging-related molecular pathways in Neurological Disorders
Synapses are complex, highly specialized biological structures. Therefore, even slight functional disturbance can lead to disruptive brain disorders. Dysfunction of these structures is associated with a variety of aging-related neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Most synaptopathies compromise complex signaling pathways by progressively affecting the synaptic protein repertoire. Currently, the treatment of most of these pathologies focuses on the mitigation of symptoms; in consequence, further efforts need to be made to elucidate the common molecular culprit and cellular mechanisms underlying the cause of these severe pathologies to serve as therapeutic targets for clinical applications. In this Research Topic, we aim to discuss synaptic dysfunction as a causal factor for aging-related neurodegenerative diseases. Despite the recent technological advances that allow identifying the individual synaptic components affected in these synaptic pathologies, we know little about how they impact the synaptic function. To promote the discussion around the molecular and functional connection, we primarily welcome original research, review, and perspective articles emphasizing the relationship between synaptic function and the proteins or mechanisms affected.
The Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses (Batten Disease)
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses are an extremely rare group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases that primarily affect children. Core symptoms of these conditions typically include epilepsy, cognitive decline and visual failure. These diseases are so rare that professionals who come into contact with them need a consultative reference work that enables them to become expert, or identify who to contact for more details. Fully updated and revised, this second edition continues to be the definitive volume on this devastating group of disorders. Written by an international collection of authorities in the field, it provides invaluable advice on their diagnosis, patient care, and new treatments that are available. This new edition of the definitive reference text on the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses will prove useful for clinicians, family physicians, research scientists, diagnostic laboratories, families affected by the disease as well as by workers in industry planning translational research.
Extracellular and Intracellular Signaling
Author: James D. Adams
language: en
Publisher: Royal Society of Chemistry
Release Date: 2011
Intracellular cell signaling is a well understood process. However, extracellular signals such as hormones, adipokines, cytokines and neurotransmitters are just as important but have been largely ignored in other works. Aimed at medical professionals and pharmaceutical specialists, this book integrates extracellular and intracellular signalling processes and offers a fresh perspective on new drug targets.
