Central nervous system

  • REVIEW
    Experimental models and tools to tackle glioblastoma
    Faye L. Robertson, Maria-Angeles Marqués-Torrejón, Gillian M. Morrison, Steven M. Pollard
    Disease Models & Mechanisms 2019 12: dmm040386 doi: 10.1242/dmm.040386 Published 6 September 2019

    Summary: This Review discusses preclinical modelling of glioblastoma multiforme to understand its biology and develop therapies, with a focus on mammalian model systems.

  • REVIEW
    Collagen VI in healthy and diseased nervous system
    Ilaria Gregorio, Paola Braghetta, Paolo Bonaldo, Matilde Cescon
    Disease Models & Mechanisms 2018 11: dmm032946 doi: 10.1242/dmm.032946 Published 31 May 2018

    Summary: Although collagen VI was so far known to be mostly involved in skeletal muscle homeostasis, this Review summarizes a number of recent studies that highlight its key role in the peripheral and central nervous systems, pointing at a link with human neurological disorders.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Imaging of viral neuroinvasion in the zebrafish reveals that Sindbis and chikungunya viruses favour different entry routes
    Gabriella Passoni, Christelle Langevin, Nuno Palha, Bryan C. Mounce, Valérie Briolat, Pierre Affaticati, Elodie De Job, Jean-Stéphane Joly, Marco Vignuzzi, Maria-Carla Saleh, Philippe Herbomel, Pierre Boudinot, Jean-Pierre Levraud
    Disease Models & Mechanisms 2017 10: 847-857; doi: 10.1242/dmm.029231

    Summary: Imaging of neuroinvasion in zebrafish shows that chikungunya virus first infects the blood-brain barrier, whereas Sindbis virus relies on axonal transport.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Mosaic expression of Atrx in the mouse central nervous system causes memory deficits
    Renee J. Tamming, Jennifer R. Siu, Yan Jiang, Marco A. M. Prado, Frank Beier, Nathalie G. Bérubé
    Disease Models & Mechanisms 2017 10: 119-126; doi: 10.1242/dmm.027482

    Summary: Heterozygous expression of the X-linked gene Atrx in the mouse brain causes deficits in spatial, contextual fear and object recognition memory.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Identification of gene expression patterns crucially involved in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and multiple sclerosis
    Martin M. Herrmann, Silvia Barth, Bernhard Greve, Kathrin M. Schumann, Andrea Bartels, Robert Weissert
    Disease Models & Mechanisms 2016 9: 1211-1220; doi: 10.1242/dmm.025536

    Summary: To define disease-inducing immune responses, unbiased gene expression in LEW.1AV1 (RT1av1) rats immunized with autoantigen-derived encephalitogenic and non-encephalitogenic peptides was investigated in MOG-EAE. CXCR4, CXCL12, AKT and CD38 control CNS inflammation.
