Improvement of Charcot-Marie-Tooth Phenotype with a Nanocomplex Treatment in Two Transgenic Models of CMT1A.

Curcumin has been shown to exert beneficial effects in peripheral neuropathies. Despite its known biological activities, curcumin has unfavorable pharmacokinetics. Its instability has been linked to its failure in clinical trials of curcumin for the treatment of human pathologies.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth-1A and sciatic nerve crush rat models: insights from proteomics.

The sensorimotor and histological aspects of peripheral neuropathies were already studied by our team in two rat models: the sciatic nerve crush and the Charcot-Marie-Tooth-1A disease. In this study, we sought to highlight and compare the protein signature of these two pathological situations. Indeed, the identification of protein profiles in diseases can play an important role in the development of pharmacological targets.

The macrophage: a key player in the pathophysiology of peripheral neuropathies.

Macrophages are present in all mammalian tissues and coexist with various cell types in order to respond to different environmental cues. However, the role of these cells has been underestimated in the context of peripheral nerve damage. More importantly, macrophages display divergent characteristics, associated with their origin, and in response to the modulatory effects of their microenvironment.

Influence of intermittent fasting on prediabetes-induced neuropathy: Insights on a novel mechanistic pathway.

Aims: Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is correlated with obesity and metabolic syndrome. Intermittent fasting (IF) has been described as the cornerstone in the management of obesity; however, its role in prediabetic complications is not well elucidated. Cytochromes P450 Monooxygenases (CYP450) are major sources of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) that orchestrate the onset and development of diabetic complications.

Forestalling age-impaired angiogenesis and blood flow by targeting NOX: Interplay of NOX1, IL-6, and SASP in propagating cell senescence.

In an aging population, intense interest has shifted toward prolonging health span. Mounting evidence suggests that cellular reactive species are propagators of cell damage, inflammation, and cellular senescence. Thus, such species have emerged as putative provocateurs and targets for senolysis, and a clearer understanding of their molecular origin and regulation is of paramount importance.
