Objective: To map the spatial distribution of different lipid species in the rat central nervous system (CNS) using IMS to find a possible relationship between anatomical localization and physiology. The data obtained were subsequently applied to a model of neurological disease, the 192IgG-saporin lesion model of memory impairment.

Summary: The specific distribution of different lipids supports their involvement not only in structural and metabolic functions but also as intracellular effectors or specific receptor ligands and/or precursors. Moreover, the specific localization in the CNS described here will enable us to analyze lipid distribution to identify their physiological conditions in rat models of neurodegenerative pathologies, such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Usage: 192 IgG-SAP in aCSF (135 ng/1 μl/hemisphere; 0.25 μl/min) was administered.

Objective: To evaluate the potential beneficial effects of a chronic lithium treatment in preventing the damage that a basal forebrain cholinergic neurodegeneration provokes.

Summary: The chronic lithium treatment significantly rescued memory performances but did not modulate ChAT availability and caspase-3 activity. The present findings support the lithium protective effects against the cognitive impairment that characterizes the brain cholinergic depletion.

Usage: Neurodegeneration was induced by injecting the immunotoxin 192 IgG-SAP in the medial septum (0.5 ug/side) and nucleus basalis magnocellularis (0.4 ug/side).

Objective: To determine amyloid beta role in the aging retina in Alzheimer’s Disease

Summary: Retinal-specific processing of amyloid may confer protection against AD and selectively preserve cone-dependent vision during aging.

Summary: The authors assessed the effects of varying ACh tone on whisker-evoked NVC responses in rat barrel cortex. ACh depletion was achieved via unilateral icv injection (4 mcg/2 mcl) with 192 IgG-SAP (Cat. #IT-01) or saline. They conclude that ACh is not only a facilitator, but also a prerequisite for the full expression of sensory-evoked NVC responses.

Objective: To show that Sox10+ adult stem cells contribute to both encapsulation and microvessel formation.

Summary: This study provides a novel mechanism that Sox10+ adult stem cells in the stroma of subcutaneous loose connective tissues are a common precursor of fibroblasts/myofibroblasts and perivascular cells. These adult stem cells can first differentiate into fibroblast-like cells at early stages of biomaterials implantation, and then into myofibroblasts promoting encapsulation/fibrosis, or perivascular cells supporting microvessels.

J Tissue Eng Regen Med 11(1):129-137. doi: 10.1002/term.1893 PMID: 24753366

Objective: To compare survival and migration of murine boundary cap neural crest stem cells (bNCSCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs)-derived, pre-differentiated neuron precursors after their implantation acutely at the junction between avulsed dorsal roots L3-L6 and the spinal cord.

Summary: The data show that both stem cell types successfully survived implantation to the acutely injured spinal cord and maintained their differentiation and migration potential. The data suggest that, depending on the source of neural stem cells, they can play different beneficial roles for recovery after dorsal root avulsion.

Summary: Immunochemistry analysis with p75 analysis confirmed that the cells exhibited a Schwann cell phenotype, suggesting that electrospun polycaprolactone/chitosan scaffolds would be good candidates for peripheral nerve tissue engineering.
