11. Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide : Expression and neurotrophic activity in the rat brain
Abstract : Neurotrophic factors play an important role in regulating naturally occurring cell death during neurogenesis. In addition to classical neurotrophic factors, some neurotransmitters and neuropeptides have been shown to exhibit neurotrophic activities. READ MORE

12. Transcription Factor AP-2 in Relation to Personality and Antidepressant Drugs
Abstract : The CNS monoaminergic systems are considered as the head engine regulating neuropsychiatric functions and personality. Transcription factor AP-2 is known to be essential for the development of the brainstem including the monoaminergic nuclei, and has the ability to regulate many genes in the monoaminergic systems.

13. Platelet monoamine oxidase : From genetic regulation to behavior
Abstract : Genetic and environmental factors contribute to the development of personality and vulnerability forpsychiatric disorders. The activity of monoamine oxidase in platelets (trbc-MAO), which is mainlygenetically determined, correlates to personality traits such as sensation-seeking and impulsiveness, andlow trbc-MAO activity is more common in patients with type 2 alcoholism.

14. Mechanisms of Transgene Silencing in Neural Cells -Implications for Ex Vivo Gene Therapy to the Brain
Abstract : The use of genetically modifi ed neural stem and progenitor cells could possibly be a future strategy for repairing a brain suffering from neurodegeneration. However, so far it has proven diffi cult to maintain sufficient levels of a transferred gene in suitable cell types, after transplantation. READ MORE

15. GH/IGF-I axis regulation of cardiovascular and neuronal gene expression and function
Abstract : Abstract Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of mortality in the Western world. Another important clinical condition is brain damage due to radiation therapy in cancer patients. This has neurological impairments presenting in the survivors. For both these conditions, it is important to develop new therapeutic strategies. READ MORE
