Impaired peroxisomal beta-oxidation in microglia triggers oxidative stress and impacts neurons and oligodendrocytes by Ali Tawbeh, Catherine Gondcaille, Fatima-Ezzahra Saih, Quentin Raas, Damien Loichot, Yannick Hamon, Céline Keime, Alexandre Benani, Francesca Di Cara, Mustapha Cherkaoui-Malki, Pierre Andreoletti, Stéphane Savary

“…These findings demonstrate that peroxisomal impairments in microglia exacerbate inflammatory response and ROS/NO production, affecting the survival of neurons and oligodendrocytes, as well as neuronal morphology and function. This dysfunction might contribute to the early neurodegenerative events in X-ALD by triggering and sustaining neuroinflammatory cascades. …”

Neural induction in Xenopus: requirement for ectodermal and endomesodermal signals via Chordin, Noggin, beta-Catenin, and Cerberus. by Hiroki Kuroda, Oliver Wessely, E M De Robertis

“…Cell-lineage studies demonstrated that BCNE cells give rise to a large part of the brain and retina and, in more posterior regions of the embryo, to floor plate and notochord. Loss-of-function experiments with antisense morpholino oligos (MO) showed that the CNS that forms in mesoderm-less Xenopus embryos (generated by injection with Cerberus-Short [CerS] mRNA) required Chordin (Chd), Noggin (Nog), and their upstream regulator beta-Catenin. …”
