Reduction of inflammatory biomarkers underlies extracellular vesicle mediated functional recovery in an aged monkey model of cortical injury by Ryan P. McCann, Bethany Bowley, Monica Pessina, Qiong Yang, Hongqi Xin, Sarah A. DeVries, Mingjin Wang, Yi Zhang, Michael Chopp, Zhenggang Zhang, Douglas L. Rosene, Douglas L. Rosene, Ella Zeldich, Ella Zeldich, Maria Medalla, Maria Medalla, Tara L. Moore, Tara L. Moore

“…Downregulation of inflammatory markers in plasma and brain tissue were positively correlated with improved functional recovery. These data suggest that MSC-EVs facilitate recovery of function after brain injury, in part, via sustained suppression of both peripheral and central pro-inflammatory signaling across recovery.…”

Chronic administration of ivabradine improves cardiac Ca handling and function in a rat model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy by Jessica Marksteiner, Christopher Dostal, Janine Ebner, Petra Lujza Szabó, Bruno K. Podesser, Simge Baydar, Ana I. A. Goncalves, Anja Wagner, Klaus Kratochwill, Petra Fichtinger, Dietmar Abraham, Isabella Salzer, Helmut Kubista, Elena Lilliu, Benjamin Hackl, Jakob Sauer, Hannes Todt, Xaver Koenig, Karlheinz Hilber, Attila Kiss

“…Abstract Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a severe muscle disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding for the intracellular protein dystrophin, is associated with impaired cardiac function and arrhythmias. A causative factor for complications in the dystrophic heart is abnormal calcium (Ca) handling in ventricular cardiomyocytes, and restoration of normal Ca homeostasis has emerged as therapeutic strategy. …”

Structural and functional features of medium spiny neurons in the BACHDΔN17 mouse model of Huntington's Disease. by Joseph Goodliffe, Anastasia Rubakovic, Wayne Chang, Dhruba Pathak, Jennifer Luebke

“…The findings that Q31 MSNs differed from Q97 and WT neurons with regard to some physiological features and structurally suggest a novel role of the N17 domain in the function of WT Htt. The motor phenotype seen in Q97 mice was less robust than that reported in an earlier study (Gu et al., 2015), and the alterations to MSN physiological properties were largely consistent with changes reported previously in a number of other mouse models of HD. …”
