Abstract Stanniocalcin-1 (STC-1) is a nerve cell-enriched protein involved in intracellular
calcium homeostasis regulation. Changes in calcium regulation are hypothesized to play a …

1. Calcium is a universal messenger of extracellular signals in a great variety of cells; it
regulates several neuronal functions, such as neurotransmitter synthesis and release …

Abstract Neuropathic pain affects 1–10% of the general population and is caused by a
lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS), a …

Alzheimer's disease (AD), characterized by progressive cognitive decline, is the most
prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the elderly. Cerebral β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition is …

The amyloid cascade hypothesis links the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide aggregation to neuronal
cell damage and ultimately the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although Aβ …

The understanding of factors involved in the etiopathogenesis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is
very important, especially in Sardinia (insular Italy) where one of the highest MS incidences …

The aim of the present study was to determine the calcium, magnesium, copper and zinc
levels in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild …

Aside from being essential to life and to numerous critical biochemical pathways,
magnesium, calcium, and potassium are minerals known to be implicated in biological …

Aims: Phosphate is essential for neuronal activity. We aimed to investigate whether delirium
is associated with altered phosphate concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum …

The lack of appropriate animal models to understand the biology and evolution of
neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders and the fact that studies on experimental …
