PMID: 26869880
Front Cell Neurosci. 2016 Feb 02;10:6. doi: 10.3389/fncel.2016.00006. eCollection 2016.

Proper communication between neurons depends upon appropriate patterning of dendrites and correct distribution and structure of spines. Schizophrenia is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by alterations in dendrite branching and spine density. Nitric oxide synthase 1 adaptor protein (NOS1AP), a...

Front Aging Neurosci. 2017 May 18;9:150. doi: 10.3389/fnagi.2017.00150. eCollection 2017.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the presence of neuropathological lesions containing amyloid plaques (APs) and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). AD is associated with mitochondrial dysfunctions, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in the brain. We have previously demonstrated enhanced expression of the...
