Upregulation of the pro-apoptotic BH3-only peptide harakiri in spinal neurons of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients.

abstract：:Following sciatic nerve injury sympathetic invasion and basket formation is seen in dorsal root ganglia. We examined whether this phenomenon occurs in trigeminal ganglion (TG) following axotomy (IOAx) or chronic constriction injury to the infraorbital nerve (IOCCI). The IOCCI rats developed hyperresponsiveness to pinp...

Recently, a novel variant of the 5-HTTLPR L allele was identified. The previously unknown L(G) allele produced similar levels of gene expression to the S allele and mig...
