Emotional–Behavioral Disorders in Healthy Siblings of Children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders
2020
Background and Objectives: Siblings of disabled children are more at risk of developing mental illnesses. More than 50 international studies show that about 8% of children and adolescents suffer from a mental disorder, which is almost always a source of difficulties both at the interpersonal level (in the family and with peers) and at school. Healthy siblings of children with disabilities are one of the groups most at risk for consequences in psychological health and well-being. As some authors suggest, siblings build their idea of &ldquo
Cancer and central nervous system disorders: protocol for an umbrella review of systematic reviews and updated meta-analyses of observational studies
2017
[Background] The objective of this study will be to synthesize the epidemiological evidence and evaluate the validity of the associations between central nervous system disorders and the risk of developing or dying from cancer.
Selection of Membrane RNA Aptamers to Amyloid Beta Peptide: Implications for Exosome-Based Antioxidant Strategies
2019
The distribution of amyloid beta peptide 42 (Aβ42) between model exosomal membranes and a buffer solution was measured. The model membranes contained liquid-ordered regions or phosphatidylserine. Results demonstrated that up to ca. 20% of amyloid peptide, generated in the plasma (or intracellular) membrane as a result of proteolytic cleavage of amyloid precursor proteins by β- and γ-secretases, can stay within the membrane milieu. The selection of RNA aptamers that bind to Aβ42 incorporated into phosphatidylserine-containing liposomal membranes was performed using the selection-amplification (SELEX) method. After eight selection cycles, the pool of RNA aptamers was isol…
